A security alert prompted the German parliament to close to tourists the glass dome atop the Reichstag that offers a panoramic view of Berlin. The dome, a popular tourist attraction, was closed indefinitely as part of tightened security at airports and train stations in the face of credible intelligence that Islamist extremists were planning attacks in Germany toward the end of November. The plans included bombings and a possible armed attack modeled on the Mumbai terrorist raids in November 2008.
