Berlin Breitscheidplatz: Lorry kills nine at Christmas market - BBC News

A lorry has ploughed into a Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say.

Police now say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video footage from the scene shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured on the ground.

The driver is believed to be under arrest while the co-driver died.

Walking around Birmingham's German Christmas market last week it did occurred to me just how big a target it would be for truck bombers.

In other news 3 people where shot praying in a Mosque in Zurich, Switzerland.

Seems the loons on claiming to represent both sides are coming out to murder people.

Strange. I was just waiting for the usual nitwits to use these events to support their right-wing agenda without caring to hear for facts.

I'll not waste my time stating the obvious.

It was obviously done by the Russians to influence the elections next year in Germany.

Maybe they hacked into to lorry's computer or something.

They control everything.
