Of course it wasn't a terrorist attack. The driver had obviously mental health issues (the modern equivalent of the Get out of jail free card).

[fiction-factory]

The co-driver has a different 'get out of jail ' card in this tragic case (tragic for the victims not the co-driver)

Notice^^ no explanation from fic fact, ref. why the "passenger" has a different "alibi"?

Horrendous images emerging - terrifying for all involved.

According to BBC News tonight the passenger in the lorry is dead, the driver has fled. Additionally they said the police foiled a similar plan recently in, I think, Strasbourg - but it could have been Stuttgart.

//According to BBC News tonight the passenger in the lorry is dead//

Ohh dear how sad, what a shame.

[naomi24]

The BBC is now saying the cab was found empty and someone has been arrested.

The German authorities have said the passenger (whom was shot by police) in the truck was Polish but yet haven't said what the nationality of the driver is.

And now the German police retract what what I posted @ 23:04 Mon 19th Dec 2016

That'll be Mohamed Kyrztwolsky then.

[Togo]

Doh blotal I'll have to retract @ 23;16

Innocent people at a Christmas market, such an easy target .

Stolen lorry, Polish driver murdered by Afghan 'refugee' who then murdered the 12+.

[naomi24]

The latest:

The perpetrator is an Afghan or Pakistani asylum seeker who is known to police for committing minor crimes. It appears the lorry was hi-jacked and the Polish driver killed.

I didn't realise I had been asked? I'm not sure why you are commenting on things I haven't said. I might have commented now if I knew what you meant. The co-driver is dead- he has no alibi. The driver is said to have escaped- he will have no alibi if he was proved to have been there and hopefully he will be caught. If he survives and he is indeed an IS terrorist I think he would want to be regarded as a brave soldier of Islam rather than as a mentally ill individual. Maybe the police referring to them as mentally ill is a deliberate policy of trying to deligitimise terrorists in the eyes of sympathisers

[fiction-factory]

I got the term co-driver from the original news report from webbo last night which said he had died. I haven't seen the latest reports yet so don't know who was the driver/codriver/passenger. Naomi's update suggests it was the driver. All very tragic and worrying and let's hope the thread doesn't get bogged down in semantics about who said what and what someone didn't say

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, the driver has been caught - and it appears the dead man found in the cab wasn't a 'co-driver'. See my link at 07.27. According to reports IS has claimed responsibility.

The longer tolerance and appeasement of these groups for politically correct reasons goes on the more these incidents will happen!
