Solidarity march readies for Berlin-Aleppo trek
Another Children's Crusade, only these are physically adult.
[DeutscheWelle] Wanting to show their solidarity with the people of Syria, a group of Europeans are to walk to Aleppo from Berlin after Christmas. The 'Civil March for Aleppo' is the initiative of a Pole living in the German capital.

Anis Amri: a well-trodden trail of jihad
What is known, which is of less urgency now that the nice Italian policemen sent him to Hell.
[DeutscheWelle] Anis Amri showed many signs of radicalization before carrying out the terror attack in Berlin. A debate is raging over whether the violent tragedy was preventable and what could be done in the future.

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.

#1  A Pole living in Berlin to lead march to Alpo.

Shirley, you're tickling my crazy bone.

Pro tip: Remember to sack Istanbul on the way, it's right on your route, won't take but a week or so.
