		</div><p>Cities across Germany are planning to increase their security at this year&#8217;s carnival celebrations, citing the continued terror threat the country faces.</p>
<p>Cologne mayor Henriette Reker said that lorries will be banned from the city&#8217;s central area and several streets will be barricaded with concrete blocks, according to the dpa news agency.</p>
<p>The measures were being put into place to avoid attacks like the one in Berlin in December when a Tunisian man drove a lorry into a crowded Christmas market, killing 12 people and wounding dozens of others.</p>
<p>It was the first mass-casualty Islamic extremist attack in Germany.</p>
<p>The western cities of Duesseldorf, Essen and Bonn also announced additional security measures, including arming police officers with submachine guns, to protect the popular street parades.</p>
