‘NOWHERE IS SAFE’

But the German minister urged people not to alter their lifestyles and sacrifice their "free life"

A TOP German official has made the chilling warning that there is "no absolute safety" in Europe in the wake of the Manchester suicide bombing.

He said: "There is no absolute safety."

Germany suffered an Islamist terror attack in December when a terrorist hijacked a lorry and ploughed through crowds at a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 and leaving 56 injured.

Now de Maiziere says that even though security procedures are "constantly adapted", they will never stop every attack.

He said: "We must not change our habits and give up on our free life."

The minister added: "We stand together and we are not going to be afraid."
