UPDATE: (1:20:50 PM PST)
   Officials say no explosives have been found at a soccer stadium in Hannover, Germany, despite a report from a German newspaper that a truck bomb disguised as an ambulance was located at the arena.
   Lower-Saxony Interior Minister Boris Pistorius, said no explosives have been found at the stadium. Pistorius, speaking at a press conference, also said no arrests have been made. The stadium was evacuated before Germany’s game against the Netherlands after several credible tips about a possible bombing were reported to German authorities just days after the Paris attacks were carried out by ISIS terrorists.
   The newspaper Kreiszeitung reported a truck disguised as a rescue vehicle was found which led to the evacuation of the HD Arena and the cancellation of the game.
   Police said they had a “concrete threat” that there was a planned explosion at the arena in northern Germany.
