At least one person is dead – reliable-ish Eastern European Twitter newsfeed Visegrad 24 puts it at 11 dead – and 60 to 80 people have been injured when a car by all appearances purposely sped into the crowd at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday, Sky News reports
“The police have put out a statement saying there’s an extensive police operation that’s going on and they haven’t officially said yet whether this is terror,” said Sky Euro correspondent Siobhan Robbins, adding “That of course will be something that a lot of people will be asking. There has been a warning for Christmas markets across Europe to be on high alert for possible terror attacks.”
A man was arrested at the scene. That the deadly attack – which bears a lot of similarities to past Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe – comes just days after Germany’s governing coalition collapsed amid an ongoing surge by the Fourth Reich AfD party and hours after shithead Elon Musk said the anti-immigrant extremists were destined to save Germany is not a good sign for democracy there.
