“At least 12 dead, 48 injured in truck attack on Berlin Christmas market,” is the headline on Victor Morton’s Washington Times story:

In a rerun of the Bastille Day terrorist attack in Nice, a truck driver plowed a 7-ton semi through a bustling Monday evening Christmas market in Berlin, Germany, causing mass carnage for which the Islamic State quickly took credit.
Berlin police said on Twitter, according to a computer-assisted translation by The Washington Times, that “12 people lost their lives.” The same tweet put the injury toll at 48.
According to the Berliner Zeitung newspaper, Berlin Mayor Michael Muller said “the situation is under control” with a suspect in custody and the public threat over.
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. But according to the German newspaper Die Welt, “indications are gathering that the arrested truck driver is Pakistani.”
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.
