A massive black truck plowed into a Christmas market teeming
with holiday revelers in east Berlin on Monday, killing nine people and
wounding dozens more.
The incident had echoes of the assault in the French city of
Nice last August, which killed 86 people and was claimed by the Islamic State.
But German authorities said it remained unclear whether terrorists were
involved in Monday’s attack. Police said they had taken a suspect into custody
who matched a description of the truck driver, and a dead body was found in the
passenger side of the vehicle.
A devastating scene unfolded at the Christmas Market, where
the truck careened into the crowd shortly after 8 p.m., sending panicked people
scattering. On the scene, first responders were carting off wounded people in
stretchers as police with machine guns cordoned off the area.
