in Berlin in likely terrorist attack

Germany is reeling after a truck plowed into a Christmas market in western Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring dozens more in a suspected terrorist attack.

The incident took place at 8:00pm on the pedestrianized Breitscheidplatz, home to one of Berlin’s largest Christmas markets. It is beside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and also close to the city’s key shopping mile, Kurfuerstendamm.

Two people were inside the lorry when it smashed into the market, a police spokesperson told Berlin Morgenpost. They confirmed that they are treating the incident as a suspected terrorist attack.

One of the people was captured on the at the scene, but later died. Another suspect was discovered nearby and taken to a police station, an official said. Police believe that the surviving suspect was the driver of the lorry.

Police later revealed that the lorry, which was loaded with steel beams, was Polish-owned.

The owner, Ariel Zurawski, told AFP the driver was his cousin and that he had not heard from him since lunchtime on Monday.

"We have not had contact with him since this afternoon. I do not know what happened to him. He's my cousin, I've known him since childhood. I vouch for him, " Zurawski said.

Police evacuated the market and sealed the area off immediately after the suspected attack. A nearby Underground station, Zoologischer Garten, was closed at both the entrance and exit.

Law enforcement called on people in Berlin not to leave their homes and to refrain from speculating about the incident.

“Please help us. Stay at home & spread no rumors,” a message on a police Twitter account said.

They also asked people to avoid posting videos from the scene online in order to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

Facebook set up a 'Safety Check' page for people in Berlin to let others know they are safe.
