Cologne Celebrates New Year's Eve Under Heightened Security
COLOGNE, GERMANY - DECEMBER 31: Visitors walk past in front of Cologne Cathedral not far from where on New Year's Eve one year ago hundreds of apparently coordinated sexual assaults were perpetrated against women, prior to New Year's Eve celebrations on December 31, 2016 in Cologne, Germany. City authorities have deployed around 1,500 police officers - more than 10 times last year's number, to maintain security during this year's festivities. Security across Germany is high due also to the recent Berlin terror attack, in which suspect Anis Amri drove a truck into a Christmas market and killed 12 people. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)
