Solidarity march readies for Berlin-Aleppo trek
Anis Amri: a well-trodden trail of jihad
Police made arrests in Duisburg as search for Berlin attacker continued [DeutscheWelle] Police said they have arrested two Kosovo-born brothers in western Germany suspected of planning an attack on a mall. Thursday night police made two arrests near Duisburg in NRW after uniformed and plain-clothed officers scoured the giant Centro mall in Oberhausen. The Kosovo-born brothers, aged 28 and 31, were suspected of planning an attack at Centro, including its Christmas stalls, according to a police statement. NRW was the region where Amri arrived as an asylum seeker in Germany in mid-2015, but authorities said they did not believe the attack on the Christmas market in Berlin and the planned Centro mall attack were directly related. "We're urgently investigating how far the preparations had got and whether more people were involved," police said in the early hours of Friday. Berlin's public broadcaster RBB said images a few hours after the attack showed Amri at a mosque in Berlin's district of Moabit, where the truck was hijacked and its Polish driver killed inside the cab. | ||

#2 The children of the Children's Crusade were supposed to have ended up either dead or enslaved, Shipman. The knightly crusades were the ones who sacked Constantinople. |
