Berlin's Mayor Michael Mueller speaks to the media at the scene of the crash as officials and police launched an investigation. President-elect Donald Trump branded it an act of terrorism, tweeting: 'Today there were terror attacks in Turkey, Switzerland and Germany and it is only getting worse' In a statement released after the crash, President elect Donald Trump said: 'Our hearts and prayers are with the loved ones of the victims of the horrifying terror attack in Berlin. 'Innocent civilians were murdered in the streets as they prepared to celebrate the Christmas holiday. 'ISIS and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad. 'These terrorists and their regional and worldwide net works must be eradicated from the face of the earth, a mission we will carry out with all freedom-loving partners.

There are dozens of ambulances and fire engines at the scene as they work to recover bodies and help those injured. Germany's justice minister says that federal prosecutors, who handle terrorism cases, were taking over the investigation.

Police detectives climbed over the debris to search the truck, as investigators worked through the night to establish what had happened.

As news of the incident spread globally, White House National Security Council spokesman, Ned Price said the United States condemned it as an apparent terror attack.

The vehicle mounted the pavement before tearing through stalls and shoppers in the market on Breitscheidplatz Square, outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the German capital's main shopping area. An eyewitness said: 'I just saw this huge black truck speeding through the markets crushing so many people and then all the lights went out and everything was destroyed' The usually merry streets became scenes of chaos, with people being pulled from under the flattened wooden stalls and others ferried off in ambulances, some tragically under white sheets. The Die Welt newspaper said that German intelligence had been warning city authorities for the past week of a possible attack on a Christmas market. Germany's justice minister says federal prosecutors, who handle terrorism cases, had taken over the investigation, while police used Twitter to urge locals to stay in their homes, to 'check suspicious objects'and encouraged people to use a Facebook safety check loved ones were safe. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she is 'mourning the dead', while The White House said: 'The United States condemns in the strongest terms what appears to have been a terrorist attack on a Christmas Market in Berlin, Germany, which has killed and wounded dozens. 'The Polish owner of the lorry confirmed his driver was missing. Speaking on Polish news channel TVN24, the owner of the haulage firm Ariel Zurawski said his relative would not have committed an act of terror: 'I can say hand on heart that the man who drove into those people in the centre of Berlin was not my driver. TOURISTS WARNED OF TERROR ATTACKS AT CHRISTMAS MARKETS. Just weeks ago, US tourists were warned to be on high alert if visiting traditional markets in Europe due to a heightened terror threat. The US State Department issued the advice for citizens travelling to the continent during the holiday season. The warning came after it was revealed ISIS encouraged lone jihadis to use trucks as weapons to target large-scale events. 'This is my cousin. I've known him since I was born. I can vouch for him. 'My scenario is that they did something to the driver they hijacked this vehicle because it was practically in the centre of Berlin and they had a good vehicle with which they could do what did. 'They did something to my driver, God forbid, something serious. It looks like that. 'We haven't heard from him since this afternoon. We don't know what happened to him. British tourist Mike Fox, from Birmingham, said the large truck missed him by about three meters as it drove into the market, tearing through tables and wooden stands. 'It was definitely deliberate,' he said. Mr Fox said he helped people who appeared to have broken limbs, and said others were trapped under Christmas stands, adding: 'We were in the market, outside the cathedral and we had just had mulled wine then as we were leaving the large truck came through. 'It went just past me, past my girlfriend. I think it missed me by three metres, missed her by five. It came in through the entrance, hit the sides of the barriers and then carried on past us. 'You do what you can to help who you can, really. It happened so fast that there was nothing we could do to stop it if we'd tried to stop it we would have been crushed.'

There were harrowing scenes on Monday evening in Berlin, after several people lost their lives just days before Christmas. The vehicle left a trail of devastation in its wake, in a chilling echo of the deadly terror attack in the French city of Nice in July and comes just one hour after the Russian ambassador was shot dead in Ankara.

A refugee is thought to have been behind the wheel of a 25-tonne articulated lorry which mowed down and killed 12 people and injured 48 others as it sped at 40mph through a busy Christmas market in Berlin. The vehicle laden with steel cargo mounted the pavement at 7pm, before tearing through stalls and shoppers on Breitscheidplatz Square, outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the German capital's main shopping area. The man at the wheel who according to German newspaper Berliner used different aliases, was of Afghan heritage and had arrived in Germany in February fled the scene before being arrested at a nearby zoo. Police confirmed the original driver, who was transporting steel beams from Poland to Germany, was a Polish national who was found dead in the lorry's cabin. It is thought he was hijacked. As German police, the White House and Germany's top security official indicated the incident was terror related, there was a chilling echo of the deadly terror attack in the French city of Nice in July. It also came just one hour after the Russian ambassador was shot dead in Ankara. The harrowing incident also comes amid repeated warnings from various security agencies that ISIS planned to wreak havoc on European countries during the festive season, specifically threatening Christmas markets. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4049442/Terror-attack-fears-lorry-ploughs-Christmas-market-Berlin-leaving-two-people-dead.html

HaneefahRN:Suffered. |
Women Were Killed With Their Late Husbands. Until the 19th century, a woman in India who lost her husband was expected to climb onto his funeral pyre and burn herself to death along with him. Sometimes, during war, women would be expected to do this even before their husbands died. If a siege was going poorly, all the women of the village would burn themselves alive and take their children with them. The husbands would just watch as their families burned. Then, in the morning, they would smear their wives’ ashes on their faces and go to war. These women killed themselves just to give their husbands a little extra motivation.
