Munich gets "two men from Arab countries" off the street during Oktoberfest   
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,556325,00.html

AP:

MUNICH  -  Two men with suspected links to Islamic extremists were taken 
into custody by Munich police, and security at the Oktoberfest beer festival 
has been increased as videos threatening Germany continued to surface on the 
Internet, officials said Monday.
Two men from Arab countries were arrested Saturday, the same day authorities 
banned flights over Oktoberfest, said Munich police chief Wilhelm 
Schmidbauer.
Such bans are usually imposed only during visits by high-ranking state 
visits. Traffic was also restricted around the Theresienwiese, the 77-acre 
festival grounds where Oktoberfest is held for 16 days each year. This 
year's event began Sept. 19.
...
Schmidbauer would not release their names, but said both men have lived in 
Munich a long time.
