A lorry ploughed into a Christmas market in Berlin on Monday evening, killing 12 people and injuring 48. Monday’s incident in Berlin was reminiscent of the lorry attack on Bastille Day crowds in the French city of Nice on 14 July, claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS). Berlin police have renewed their calls for people in the city to report anything suspicious that will help them with their ongoing enquiries.
