Christmas fair in an old market city.
No extremist group has claimed the latest vehicle-ramming attack to target one of Germany’s most beloved religious and cultural festivals. One woman summed up the stunned mood when she told Die Welt daily: “I don’t know in what world we’re living in, where someone would use such a peaceful event to spread terror.”
The local Volksstimme newspaper said reports from the scene indicated the attacker clearly tried “to hit as many people as possible.” Police said the vehicle drove “at least 400 meters across the Christmas market” leaving behind a trail of destruction, debris, and broken glass on the city’s central town hall square.
Domestic security service the Office for the Protection of the Constitution had warned it considers Christmas markets to be an “ideologically suitable target for Islamist-motivated people.”
