Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Early days of course and Germany has been relatively free of terrorist activity despite many of its nationals carrying out atrocities elsewhere in the world, especially against US targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted April 11, 2017 Wasn''t the tragedy at the market in Berlin at christmas a terrorist attack which left a dozen dead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Yes it was but in terms of the amount of suspects in the country, they have a lower proportion of attacks or foiled attempts.And the larger the amount of casualties is more shocking but still a lone attack as in Westminster.

JF 694 Posted April 11, 2017 It doesn''t sound too serious, and the cause is unknown at the moment. Police said in a statement: "In the run-up to the Champions League game between BVB (Dortmund) and AS Monaco, there was just after 7pm tonight an explosion close to the BVB team bus.""According to what we currently know, the wheels of the bus (totally or partly) burst and one person was injured."It is not yet possible to say exactly what the explosion was or exactly where something exploded."
