One Polish victim in the Berlin terrorist attack

One of the victims of the Monday evening attack in Berlin, in which a truck ran into a Christmas market in Berlin, was Polish. The driver’s Polish-registered truck was, according to press reports, hijacked by a foreign national and driven into the market, where, it was reported, as many as 12 people were killed. German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the attack as a “terrible deed” and said many of those injured are fighting for their lives. She also said: “We must assume it was a terrorist attack. This unspeakable event will be as severely punished as the law will allow.” Polish President Andrzej Duda and PM Beata Szydło have sent their condolences to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
