Munster (Germany) | 7 April 2018:
At least three people have been left dead and twenty others injured in Germany when a vehicle drove into crowd in Muenster city.
Police have closed the area and urged people to avoid places near the popular Kiepenkeri pub.
Photos shared on social media shows chairs and tables strewn at the scene of incidents in the picturesque medieval city of 300,000 people in Western Germany.
Spiegel magazine writes in their online edition the German authorities are assuming it to be an attack. However, no group has claimed responsibility of it and no immediate official confirmation has come yet. This mean an attack cannot be ruled out.
TV footage shows firefighting and police vehicles clustered at the spot.
Driver of the vehicle had killed himself, evoking memories of similar attack in Berlin in December 2016 that killed a dozen people and injuring seventy others.
A 24-year-old failed Tunisian asylum seeker then hijacked a truck by killing the driver and drove it into a crowded market.
Anis Amri was found to have Islamist links and was shot dead in Milan by Italian police, four days after the attack. Terror organization Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility of it.
The IS group also conducted several other attacks in Europe and one was in August 2017 in which fourteen people were killed and over 100 others were injured. It was a rampage along Barcelonas Las Ramblas boulevard.
On 14 July 2015 a man rammed a truck into crowd during the national holiday celebration in the French resort city of Nice and killed 84 people.
