Suspect in Berlin Christmas market attack came to Germany as refugee, reports say
Fox News ^ | December 19, 2016

The man believed to have driven a truck into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin Monday evening had come to Germany as a refugee from Pakistan this past February, multiple German media outlets reported.

The attack killed at least 12 people and left 48 others injured. Officials in Germany and the United States have described the crash as an apparent terror attack, though no group has claimed responsibility.

If confirmed, the revelations are likely to heap more pressure onto German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose decision to accept waves of migrants from Africa and the Middle East has stoked controversy and unsettled Germany and Europe.

Der Tagesspiegel reported that the suspect, whom the paper said was Afghan or Pakistani, was known to police for multiple minor offenses, but had not made the radar of anti-terror authorities. The dpa press agency reported that the suspect used multiple names, making it difficult for authorities to confirm his actual identity.

A Pakistani refugee? Is there a war going on in Pakistan, or is the mainstream media now calling ALL Moslems 'refugees'?

Too bad, being able to predict events like this makes one a bigot, doesn’t it?

Those who want safe spaces need to make the much larger surrounding area a Islam Free Zone.

Obama didn’t bring that many. We’ve got mostly mexicans and asians.

Merkel wants lots and lots of muslims from all over

A rabid dog is let into your home. It attacks your children.
Don’t waste time blaming the dog, it’s only doing what is in its nature.
Blame lies upon the person(s) who enabled the dog to enter.
