| Munich goes ahead with beer festival |
Munich's annual beer festival will go ahead after it was decided against calling it off out of sympathy for America.
But Mayor Christian Ude said this year's event would be more subdued than in previous years as a mark of respect.
The beer festival has already been the target for a bomb attack in 1980.
The Oktoberfest, which is in its 168th year, is attended by around six million visitors who drink around five million litres of beer.
