    A van is reported to have driven into pedestrians in the city of Muenster, in western Germany.

    A police spokeswoman has said there are "several dead, probably including the suspect".

    Local authorities have said about 30 people were injured in the incident, near the Kiepenkerl statue in the old town.

    Police asked people to avoid the city centre while they respond to the incident.

    Is it terror related or just a nut job?

    Meanwhile the Israeli army can shoot Palestinian citizens dead and not many * are given.

    Watch all the fake * and their "pray for Germany" social media attention seeking posts.

    RIP to all those who have been killed in Germany.

    My brother lives there. Safe and well thankfully.

    The Altstadt is always mobbed with people at the weekend. Shocking.

    alleged right wing extremist. he's a german christian, therefore he must have been mentally disturbed. if he was a german muslim, it would have been a terror attack.

    It shows you how frequent these attacks have become that no-one is surprised any more and they receive increasingly less attention.

    I think this type of thing has always went on. I just believe it happens slightly more because of the media attention it garners. And some delusional * along with fanatics crave the notoriety. But say for example in the 90s, it wouldn’t be reported here if someone in Germany/Portugal/Poland had mounted the pavement in a car or run through the front of a crowded shop. Probably because they were mentally unstable, they suffered a heart attack or passed out at the wheel. Look at the bin lorry in Glasgow incident. It happens regularly. Difference now the media are desperate to scramble for a story of terrorism to whip people into a frenzy. They will also draw it out even when they know it’s not. What colour was the driver? Did he ever look up ISIS on his laptop? Was he radicalised. NO!!! And he wasn’t Irish either. He took a * epileptic fit whilst taking a right turn at rue de Michel and unfortunately took out 3 people enjoying coffee at a pavement cafe. He wasn’t a terrorist. He was a normal Joe with normal * illness. Now the story is boring.:39:

    They should put a reporting ban on these acts,if that's at all possible,it would maybe alleviate the martyr attraction of carrying attacks out.
