Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims of yet another European terror attack tonight.
Even though there were warning signs in the days leading up to tonight’s terror attack in Berlin, no one seemed to take the threats seriously. Now a radical Islamic terror organization has claimed responsibility for the Berlin Christmas Marker massacre where so far 9 have died and 50 more are injured.

And ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Berlin police said the truck contained two men, one of whom “died on the spot.” A man suspected of being the driver “was arrested in the vicinity.”
“The backgrounds are still unclear,” the Berlin police wrote on Twitter in German.
The Twitter feed of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Force said that the Islamic State was claiming credit for the Berlin attack, based on jihadist accounts the IPMF tracks using encrypted technology.
A German intelligence official told CNN said the crash “is now being investigated as if it were a terrorist attack.”
Citing an eyewitness, CNN reported that the truck seemed to be going about 40 mph and made no obvious effort to avoid people.
That has all the makings of a radical Islamic terror attack to me. This must stop. The world will triumph over radical Islam. You hate will be denied for good.
