(Deutsche Welle) Over 100 people gathered in Berlin on Saturday to mourn and remember the 12 victims of the 2016 Islamist attack on a Christmas market in the German capital.
At 8:02 p.m. — the exact time of the attack — church bells rang 12 times to pay tribute to the 12 victims. The participants stood in silence on Breitscheidplatz where four years earlier a dozen people were killed.
The attacker, a 24-year-old man from Tunisia whose asylum application had been rejected, shot and killed a Polish truck driver and then used his truck to plow into the market, killing 11 and injuring dozens more. Following the attack he fled to Italy, where he was shot and killed four days later by police in Milan.
