Nov 26 , 2020

A car with slogans scrawled on its sides crashed into the gate of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office in Berlin on 25th Nov 2020 and police can not sure of the driver’s motive.

Police said they had taken a 54-year-old man into custody and had questioned him. “We don’t know if psychological or other reasons motivated the driver,” a police spokesman said.
Berlin newspaper BZ reported that the same vehicle, which had a license plate from the northwestern county of Lippe, had rammed the gates of the Chancellery in 2014.

Europe is on high alert after suspected Islamist militants killed eight people in Paris, Nice and Vienna in recent weeks. On Tuesday, Swiss police have identified a Swiss woman who knifed a victim in the neck and grabbed another by the throat in a Lugano department store as a known jihadist.
Four years ago, a failed Tunisian asylum seeker with Islamist links, hijacked a truck then drove it into a crowded Berlin Christmas market, killing 11 more people and injuring dozens of others.
In Europe, there are more and more incidents involving vehicles hitting pedestrians or buildings. Many of them are premeditated, just like this time when they hit Merkel's office.
