Police are not officially saying there was an attack or not. It's just a bunch of misinformation, usual for an incident like this. The golden rule applies: Wait for official confirmation from a spokesman.

They have other reasons. Tornado jets do reconnaissance over Syria, Germany supports Kurds with military equipment and the country took in a lot of refugees.

Yes. But let's be honest...the fact that the country has a lot of muslims is enough for terrorist attacks to happen. It's not like Germany could realistically do anything to avoid provoking attacks. Those people aren't rational and will always find a reason.

I mean, you won't get anything more direct than this at this point in time.

Given that the Berlin fire brigade has claimed that "the driver is on the run" I'm inclined to agree with you.

Not really, Germany had millions of muslims for decades without homegrown islamic terrorism.

Yeah. It's almost like it's impossible to say anything for certain at this point in time. Weird. Let's all just agree that this is/isn't an accident and panic/don't panic.

Tragic. We should wait until more details from official sources are released before speculation is taken as Fakt and make their round on social media.

Guys, seriously. I have friends in Berlin and you guys are honestly starting to get me angry here.

It's obvious sources are contradicting each other right now. Nobody here knows the entire truth. In God's name, stop fighting about whether it's definitely or definitely not an attack, or about any of the other details? Can't we just share news reports instead of fighting over who in this thread is right or wrong?

Come on, have some decency.
