Pro-German Afghan march canceled

KUNDUZ, Afghanistan, May 24 (UPI) -- Afghans in Kunduz wanted to demonstrate in favor of German military presence, but security concerns canceled the march.

Under the motto "Germany must stay -- we need you," the citizens of Kunduz Thursday wanted to reassure the German military after three of their soldiers were killed and five more injured last Saturday in a suicide bombing attack in a busy Kunduz bazaar.

Thousands of citizens wanted to march through the streets to show their solidarity with the roughly 300 German Bundeswehr soldiers who are stationed just outside Kunduz and for the past years have been working on reconstruction projects in this northern Afghan province.

The march, however, was canceled at the last minute by security officials because they had received threats that the march would be targeted by terrorist attacks, the online version of German news magazine Der Spiegel said Thursday.

Local authorities are "sure that two potential attackers are still in the city," Spiegel Online said.
