Terror attack in Berlin and Zurich (video)
An articulated lorry ploughed into a busy Christmas market in the heart of Berlin on Monday evening, killing 12 people and injuring 48. Germany's Interior Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, said "many things" pointed to a deliberate attack, BBC reports. The market is at Breitscheidplatz, close to the Kurfuerstendamm, the main shopping street in the city's west. Almost 50 people are in hospital and at least four have suffered serious injuries. Images of the lorry show that it was registered in neighbouring Poland. Police believe it may have been stolen from a construction site there. Police also said the passenger who died in the vehicle was Polish. The source says that a gunman dressed in black stormed into the prayer hall of a mosque frequented by Somali immigrants and opened fire, wounding three people before fleeing.
