U.S. and German officials fear terrorists are in the advanced planning stages of an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.

Law enforcement officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com that U.S. air marshals have been diverted to provide expanded protection of flights between Germany and the United States.

"The information behind the threat is very real," a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble told reporters, "The danger level is high. We are part of the global threat by Islamist terrorism."

for what?

Work. We have an office outside of Frankfurt (Walldorf) but our risk insurance gets these updates from the state department and DHS and when the risk is great enough, we don't travel.

People with connections in Frankfurt and Munich are being rebooked through Amsterdam or France.
