BERLIN -- AP
Germany faces a growing risk of terrorist attacks and has stepped up security precautions in response, a magazine reported Saturday, citing an alert by federal anti-crime authorities.

The Federal Criminal Office, Germany's equivalent of the FBI, issued the warning in response to last week's devastating bomb attack on Bali and a purported threat against Germany by Osama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the weekly Der Spiegel said.
