A LORRY has ploughed into a Christmas market in Berlin, killing several and injuring 50 others in what police believe is a deliberate attack.

The crash happened in Breitscheidplatz, a major public square in the city in a chilling echo of the deadly terror attack in Nice earlier this year.

Horrifying pictures show wounded people being treated on the ground and debris from the attack strewn across the road.

A huge manhunt is now under way after the driver fled the scene, with police confirming they believe it was a deliberate terror attack.

Local media reported that the truck has Polish license plates.

Driver/perp has escaped from the scene... co-driver found dead in truck.

I wonder how the (two ?) terrorists got hold of the Polish truck... did they steal or hijack it? Was one of them working for the Polish company that owns the truck?

Here’s a clue: The time to fear such attacks is before they happen. And to take measures. And to prevent the perps from entering your country by the thousands.

German police warned people to stay at home after the crash and "not spread rumours" via Twitter.

Move along, nothing to see here!

Driver has been arrested.
Co-driver dead in truck.

From the way German newspapers report it appears that the dead man in the truck was also a perp.

Polish media report that contact with the Polish driver was interrupted before the attack.

Indeed appears to be an hijacked truck.

Way to go, Angela!

You’ve just given a whole bunch of families a very Merry Christmas!

They get to spend it either at the hospital or at the cemetery!

Congratulations!

Let’s not jump to conclusions. Let’s not get on our high horse and blame an entire religion. Remember, Christianity has its terrorists too. Even if the perp yells “allahu akbar”, it’s just a prayer and doesn’t mean anything. Besides, Trump drove him to it.

Now the reality: a subhuman savage maggot muzzard drove a truck into crowds last year in France. murkel let a million or so savages into her country. This is what savages do.

You let savages into your country, they kill humans.
