After days during which the German police and government have been warning of an imminent terrorist attack with the likely target being an outdoor Christmas market, a large truck rolled through just such a market in Berlin today. According to reports, the driver of the truck fled after killing at least 10 and wounding 40 more, but now we are hearing that the driver has been captured by police.
That's all we know at the moment. At least so far, no terrorist group has claimed authorship of the attack, nor do we know if the driver was even affiliated with al Qaeda or ISIS or the terrorist flavor du jour. Police in Berlin, however, are treating the event as a terrorist attack.
We will have to wait more hours until the full nature of this event is known. It sure does look like the ISIS attack in Nice last summer.
