If ISIL keeps trying to blow stuff up in other countries, they are eventually going to get a coalition formed against them because they pissed off the whole world.

I mean, when you can get Russia and the USA to come together to discuss the problem, it's serious.

Hannover bomb plot: Germany v Netherlands called off - what we know so far
German police called off the game after a tip-off from French intelligence, according to Bild newspaper.

There was information some 30 hours in advance that a group known as the "North Africans" were planning an attack on the match using automatic weapons and suicide bomb vests at the entrances to the stadium, the newspaper reported.

French intelligence subsequently alerted German security forces that an "Iraqi sleeper" was planning an attack on the game, and officials decided they had no choice but to call it off.

Reports suggest that a truck bomb was hidden in an ambulance, parked outside.

Still no hard information on what is going on. The 24 hour rule doesn't apply, but the 2 hour rule should.

I bet Bush planted the bombs.
