            Bundesliga Ponders Security After Hannover Attack Threat

   by Associated Press

   Security at Bundesliga matches is under debate in the aftermath of a
   threat that led government officials to call off a friendly between
   Germany and the Netherlands.

   Tuesday's match was called off at short notice as police ordered the
   evacuation of the Hannover stadium. No explosives were found at the
   stadium and no arrests were made, but government officials said there
   was a specific threat that left them no choice but to cancel the game.

   Top officials of the football federation say this weekend's Bundesliga
   matches will take place as scheduled.

   But they also acknowledge that the Hannover threat, which came only
   four days after the wave of attacks in Paris, could affect the league.

   Hannover club president Martin Kind says the incident "will change
   football and presents us with new challenges.''
