Germany's anti-Islam PEGIDA cancels rally due to terror risks

Germany's anti-Islam movement PEGIDA announced Sunday to cancel a planned weekly demonstration in Dresden because of terror risks.

"According to the police, there is a specific threat against a member of the organization team," said PEGIDA on its Facebook account in an statement about the decision to cancel its 13th gathering in the eastern German city slated for the upcoming Monday.

PEGIDA marches began in Dresden with several hundred supporters in October and have steadily grown in the number of participants. About 25,000 people have reportedly participated in Monday's protest, five days after the attacks in Paris that claimed 17 lives.

German leading news magazine Der Spiegel reported Friday that foreign intelligence agencies had intercepted discussions by radical Islamists about possible attacks on the planned rallies.
