US Warned Citizens of Possible Terror Attacks on Markets Like Berlins, Just 4 Weeks AgoBy Claire Bernish According to reports from local media, police believe the incident to be an attack, and are treating it as a terror incident. Sky News Newsdesk (@SkyNewsBreak) December 19, 2016 LesNews (@LesNews) December 19, 2016 We can confirm nine fatalities many injured. A lot of our colleagues are at #Breitscheidplatz to investigate the background, the official police account tweeted. Polizei Berlin (@polizeiberlin) December 19, 2016 It looked like [it was done] on purpose, a police officer who witnessed the incident told Berliner Zeitung. Lorry just ploughed through Christmas market in #berlin. There is no road nearby. People crushed. I am safe. I am safe, tweeted Emma Rushton with a picture from the chaotic scene. There is, indeed, a road nearby the market, so it is unclear what Rushton meant. Emma Rushton (@ERushton) December 19, 2016 We heard a loud bang, Rushton told CNN. We started to see the top of an articulated truck, a lorry just crashing through the stalls, through people. She added, Theres no way it was an accident. Tobias Schneider (@tobiaschneider) December 19, 2016 Another eyewitness described dozens of people unconscious on the ground. Local media reports suggested the vehicle ran into the market outside the landmark Kaiser Wilhelm memorial church on Monday evening. They said police at the scene had said initial indications pointed to an attack, the Guardian reports. A journalist from Berliner Morgenpost described the aftermath as a gruesome scene. Reports indicated the driver took no care to avoid hitting people and traveled at a high rate of speed through the open-air holiday market. Interestingly, the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning last month cautioning Americans in Europe about attending Christmas holiday events including, specifically, markets like this one stating: The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the heightened risk of terrorist attacks throughout Europe, particularly during the holiday season. U.S. citizens should exercise caution at holiday festivals, events, and outdoor markets. This Travel Alert expires on February 20, 2017. Credible information indicates the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or Daesh), al-Qaida, and their affiliates continue to plan terrorist attacks in Europe, with a focus on the upcoming holiday season and associated events. U.S. citizens should also be alert to the possibility that extremist sympathizers or self-radicalized extremists may conduct attacks during this period with little or no warning. Terrorists may employ a wide variety of tactics, using both conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests. (emphasis added) In fact, the State Department specifically mentioned terror attacks that had taken place in Germany and other European nations, warning additional attacks might still occur: While extremists have carried out attacks in Belgium, France, Germany, and Turkey in the past year, the Department remains concerned about the potential for attacks throughout Europe. Chaos unfolded after the truck drove headlong into the market around 8 p.m. what would have been its busiest hour. According to Bild Berlin editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt, cited by Reuters, a massive security operation is currently underway, and The scene certainly looks like a reminder of what we have seen in Nice. On Bastille Day in Nice, France, a truck driver drove through a massive crowd gathering for a parade, leaving at least 80 people dead and several hundred injured. Police later detained the suspected driver of the truck nearby and confirmed his putative accomplice, the passenger, died after being detained shortly after the vehicle crashed. Police also asked people to stay away from the scene and not rush to conclusions until a thorough investigation concludes.

Becaue the US of A set it up and the CIA carried it out with your tax dollars Once again, Islamic immigrants, turned rapists, terrorists, criminals, in Germany like the rest of Europe, including France and Italy, are protected by the mainstream media. We are not allowed to know that this is just yet another terrorist attack of the indigenous population by folks who specifically entered and stay in the country to harm the natives and destroy their way of life in order to create the need for marital law and centralized Big Brother rule. If the Germans lack any self confidence so that they would leave in place the globalist, power tripper Angela Merkal who did this to them, then they deserve to lose their country to Islam. No real need for a warning. Just the presence of these dirtbags is warning enough. Always be vigilant.
