Twelve people were killed and 48 injured on Monday night after a truck driver drove into a Christmas market in the German capital of Berlin.The Christmas market is located in Breitscheidplatz Square by the ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Church.Local police are suspecting the incident to be a terror attack, as the driver drove into the market at a time when the market was densely populated with shoppers purchasing their last Christmas goods before the holiday this Sunday. In late November, the US State Department warned of a “heightened risk of terror attacks” at events across Europe during the Christmas season, saying there was “credible information” that Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaeda were planning bloodshed.German police have launched a manhunt to pursue the driver, who reportedly fled the scene. The car-ramming on Monday evening appears to mirror the terrorist attack in Nice, France this past July when a Tunisian native drove a truck into a crowd participating in Bastille Day celebrations. Eighty-six people were killed in the attack.By: Jonathan Benedek, World Israel News Read US troops injured in Iraq raid, 15 ISIS terrorists dead, US officials say Al-QaedaBerlinGermanyISISIslamic terrorNice attack
