YANGON, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Myanmar authorities have removed a bomb threat at the Yangon International Airport, according to local police on Tuesday.
The four suspected soft-drink bottles found on Tuesday morning at Terminal-1 of the airport are not chemical bombs, and they are filled with some traditional liquid medicine, the police said.
The bottles put in a green plastic bag and left on a desk near the ticket counter of Terminal-1 were found at about 9:30 a.m. local time by an airline staff member.
The bottles are filled with concentrated liquid in yellow color.
A series of explosions caused by home-made chemical bombs had occurred in Yangon regional government office, two giant retailers and South Dagon township Immigration office during this month.
Three suspects who were involved in two blasts at Yangon regional government office building have been arrested on Nov. 26, with materials used for making chemical bombs.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been looking unusually vulnerable as she prepares to meet the world's top leaders this week, struggling to slow a huge influx of migrants amid mounting demands to do just that.
Merkel's optimistic signature phrase in the crisis — "We will manage it" — is wearing thin at home, bringing rare open criticism from her own conservative bloc. She has made little headway persuading Germany's European Union partners to share the burden. Polls have shown her popularity sliding.
Over recent days Jamal Adams Jets Jersey , her governing coalition squabbled over a plan to give many Syrians a restricted asylum status that wouldn't allow them to bring relatives to Germany for two years. The program was announced by the interior minister apparently behind the chancellery's back, and quickly shelved, but then backed by prominent conservatives. The bickering came just after the government buried another weekslong argument.
However, while these are difficult times for Merkel Authentic Avery Williamson Jersey , they are far from desperate. The chancellor appears to be inching toward more restrictive policies without dropping her broadly positive approach. She also needs to reconcile the interests of a governing coalition of right and left.
Over the years, her pragmatism at home and persistence abroad have left her without serious rivals as Germany's and Europe's most powerful politician. That makes her a key figure among leaders of the Group of 20 nations, who meet Sunday and Monday in Turkey.
Fellow conservatives appear to be trying to push her to the right, with Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble — a heavyweight in her Christian Democratic Union — saying Sunday that "our capacity to take in (people) is not unlimited" and that it needs to be "clear in Syria that not everyone can now come to Germany." On Wednesday Authentic Rishard Matthews Jersey , he compared the influx to a potential avalanche.
Still, there's no sign of any direct attack on her position, and Merkel has a long record of patiently working through crises.
"This is not a power struggle" because there is no opponent, said Oskar Niedermayer Authentic Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jersey , a political science professor at Berlin's Free University. "There is no one who wants to damage her to the extent of running against her and really challenging her as party leader or chancellor."
Her strength over a decade in power has been in improvising responses to confusing crises, giving Germans the reassuring sense that she's in control.
But that sense — something that has earned her the nickname "Mutti," or "mom" — has seemed in short supply lately as Germany struggles to stem the tide of refugees and other migrants. Merkel has said that she can't just flip a switch to stop the flow, and even that it is "not in our power how many come to Germany."
Germany registered some 758 Authentic Trumaine Johnson Jersey ,000 migrants this year through October, and some 6,000 to 10,000 per day continue to arrive.
While Merkel has repeatedly stressed that people who have no claim to asylum must leave Germany quickly Authentic Isaiah Crowell Jersey , she so far has ignored pressure to state clearly that there is a limit to the number of refugees Germany can take in — apparently wary of making promises she can't keep.
Merkel, the daughter of a Protestant pastor who grew up behind communist East Germany's fortified border, has appeared driven by a mixture of her trademark pragmatism and moral purpose. She argues that it's not feasible to seal off Germany or Europe in the Internet age.
As the head of a party with "Christian" in its name, Merkel said last month Authentic Jason Myers Jersey , "I don't want to get into a competition to see who in Europe treats in the least friendly way people... who have come 2,000 kilometers to us."
