BBC reports:

A lorry has ploughed into a busy Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say. Police say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured. A suspicious person has been arrested nearby, while a passenger was found dead, police say. The market is at Breitscheidplatz, close to the Kurfuerstendamm, the main shopping street in the city's west. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, tweeted to say: "We are in mourning for the dead and hope that the many injured can get help."

There are now reports from local police that 12 people have been confirmed killed in the attack.

Reuters reports:

A man stormed into a Zurich mosque on Monday evening and opened fire on people praying, injuring three, Swiss police said.

They said they had collected evidence inside the building and would make more details available on Tuesday. They declined to comment on the potential motive.

Two of the three men -- aged 30, 35 and 56 -- were seriously injured in the attack shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time (1630 GMT) near the main train station in Switzerland's financial capital, Zurich police said.

    Must be a muslim with mod points on today.
    Same thing happens when they move to western countries to breed. Eventually they vote a muslim to power and then it goes to hell.
    Happening in Sydney right now.

          Your GoogleFu has failed you.

          Let's start with: http://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/10/08/22/10/western-sydney-has-got-a-muslim-problem-mark-latham-on-the-verdict [9news.com.au]

          Here's another: https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/australias-child-bride-problem/ [wordpress.com]

          There is a slew of news articles on the Western Sydney problem directly related to the number of muslims in the area.

          I went there recently to look for myself. Never have I seen so many police officers walking around in pairs in the shop areas. Tussles in the street. Angry looks from veiled women. Not the worst part though. Much of the area has been taken over by Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who have built a new life in Australia. There is a vast rich society woven through the area with several cultures working and living together. Except the muslims. The locals now feel threatened by the muslims who are claiming Western Sydney for themselves. This results in conflict on the streets with bloodshed.

          Citation needed? Google it. Or visit there and see for your self.

          "The Sydney gang rapes formed a much reported set of incidents in 2000; a group of Lebanese men sexually assaulted non-Muslim women. In 2005, tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in the Cronulla area of Sydney led to violent rioting; the incident resulted in mass arrests and criminal prosecution. In 2012, Muslims protesting in central Sydney against Innocence of Muslims, an anti-Islam film trailer, resulted in rioting."

          Mohammad Hassan Al-Bayati appeared in Campbelltown Local Court on Thursday charged with committing an act of indecency towards the girl at the DFO Homebush shopping centre on Sunday.

          Cameras from inside DFO Homebush allegedly show Mr Al-Bayati then walked down one of the centre's corridors and into a locked fire exit stairwell.

          There were no cameras inside the stairwell, where Mr Al-Bayati and the girl remained for 11 minutes.

          It is here police allege Mr Al-Bayati exposed himself to the girl and performed an indecent act in what prosecutors described as an "opportunistic attack"

          "The child made disclosures about an act of indecency and stated that she was 'taken by a policeman' who was going to take her to her mum," police documents before the court state.

          Mr Al-Bayati was arrested and charged on Wednesday where he gave an interview with police where he admitted that he did breach the centre protocol by finding a lost child and taking her down the secluded corridor.

          But he denied allegations that he had performed an indecent act or exposed himself to the girl.

          "The accused could not provide investigators with any explanations for the unaccounted 11 minutes inside the stairwell with the child," police documents stated.
