An EU probe has found major security lapses at Germany's biggest airport in Frankfurt enabling weapons and other items to be smuggled through passenger safety checks, a newspaper said Sunday.

The failings, detected in an undercover European Union-commissioned investigation, were largely down to badly trained staff, Germany's Bild am Sonntag weekly said.

There's little to break the monotony of communist-era apartment blocks stretching across Marzahn-Hellersdorf, an east Berlin satellite district that has gained national notoriety for a spate of anti-foreigner protests.

Week after week, hundreds of residents here have angrily rallied against plans for a new center to house refugees seeking asylum on a stretch of parkland now ringed by cyclone fence and watched by security guards.

Peace talks between Ukraine's leaders and Kremlin-backed rebels could take place Sunday or Monday in the Belarussian capital Minsk in the presence of Russian and OSCE envoys, French President Francois Hollande said.

These talks will "happen on Sunday or Monday," Hollande said after an EU summit on Thursday, referring to the peace talks that will take place between the rebels and the Ukrainian government delegates in Minsk.

About 10,000 people had to be evacuated on Thursday after an unexploded 250-kilogram (550-pound) World War II bomb was discovered in a city near the German capital.

The find during construction work near Potsdam central railway station also halted local bus, tram and train services and led authorities to clear ministry buildings and the parliament of Brandenburg state.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned a "cowardly" attack by Taliban militants Tuesday on an army-run school in neighboring Pakistan that killed at least 130 people -- most of them children.

Modi branded the attack in the northwestern city of Peshawar "a senseless act of unspeakable brutality" and said India shares rival Pakistan's pain.

The three teenage girls from the U.S. state of Colorado swapped Twitter messages about marriage and religion with recruiters for the Islamic State group, then set out for Syria with passports and thousands of dollars in stolen cash. Authorities intercepted them in Germany, then returned them to their families without criminal charges.

That case and others like it show how the militant group is targeting its sophisticated propaganda beyond male fighters, seeking to entice not only wives but also professionals such as doctors, accountants and engineers as it pushes to build a new society in a territorial base that has spread across broad swaths of Iraq and Syria.

A record 15,000 people marched Monday in eastern Germany against "asylum cheats" and the country's "Islamization" in the latest show of strength of a growing far-right populist movement.

Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier cautioned Germans against falling prey to xenophobic "rabble-rousing", reacting to the nascent movement called "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident" or PEGIDA.

Thousands demonstrated Monday in eastern Germany against "criminal asylum seekers" and the "Islamization" of the country, in the latest show of strength of a growing far-right populist movement.

Recent weekly protests by far-right populists against immigrants, asylum seekers and the "Islamization" of Germany "bring shame" on the country, Justice Minister Heiko Maas said Monday.

Ahead of the latest marches planned by the "Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the Occident" (PEGIDA) group, Maas told the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that Germans should stand up to racism and xenophobia.

German police have noted a significant rise in far-right extremism and attacks targeting foreigners, a news report said Sunday, amid national debate about a new Islamophobic movement.
