I just noticed this article. It makes me wonder if the terrorists have coordinated some sort of series of attacks for today. You have the Russian ambassador, the other attack in Germany earlier today (I think it was Germany), this truck attack (although it isn't confirmed whether or not this is a terror attack but seems highly likely). There was apparently some other sort of security incident by the US embassy in Turkey. I hope we don't see anything else today.

Edit: the other attack I mentioned was in Switzerland.

From one of the Twitter comments.

Lorry just ploughed through Christmas market in #berlin. There is no road nearby.

That raises suspicions.

One dead person reported. Maybe several, according to different news channels.

Maybe a regional thing, try searching for N24.



Edit, It really seems to be a regional problem, because the link works for me, i am sorry.

was to expected....the fall of Aleppo triggerd the rebels to turn there back's to there supporters..
first killing the russian ambassader...now the xmas market of berlin...

It's time to start deportations from the West.

Just think how many terrorists (that the Obama admin. knowingly forced into the U.S.) we can deport now that Obama won't be there to fund ISIS.

Our American tax dollars probably paid for this attack as well.

Woman being interviewed on Sky says there is a main road either side of the market.....and live feed shows this to be true. So the Twitter comment is wrong.



CX.

Seems like it is 9 dead now, and more than 50 injured.
The driver is on the run, and i bet will not be found. Nobody even knows how he looks yet, the police said that they don´t know who to search for.

Even if i think this was a "IS", "muslim" attack, nobody knows something yet.
But the MSM is talking about Al Quaida, "IS".

Now guess it was just a drinken driver...

I will switch in from time to time, because i really have no time atm.

I have some good friends/neighbors who just got back from Germany last week...hitting all the Christmas Markets over there. I'm so glad they are here and safe...and sending up prayers for the victims and their families.

This world is so #'d up!!!!

An undoubtedly peaceful refugee I'm sure...
ISIS specifically enumerated this type of attack to its followers..

Merkel should be impeached for allowing hundreds of thousands of uneducated murderous zealots onto their soil...

Islamo-fascists have no place in the west and do not deserve our beneficence...they are too unenlightened to understand our high minded egalitarianism based in intellectual enlightenment and the betterment of all mankind...

They only understand the sword...and I say it's time the West gives them what they want..

East european number plate, could really be "just" a drunken driver...

Announcements from the White House should be long today.

Sad, how only rightwing motivated comments get stars in seconds!
ATS, what have you become?

I agree, but our spineless politicians will be too busy wringing their hands and wondering what us nasty wacists might have done to offend them to take any kind of action.

No doubt they'll pour loads of money into their communities so that they'll be happy and forgive us for offending them for some nonsense or another.

There's a way to go until Christmas yet, so I expect to see more and more of this between now and then - while our politicians welcome the next 50 train loads with welcome signs and open arms.

I don't care if it was Borat high on heroin...
[which we all know it wasn't...spoiler alert: it was an uneducated islamist]

My point remains and stands on point of fact regardless of this incident...
