German Chancellor Angela Merkel labeled the Berlin Christmas market attack, which killed 12, as a terrorist act. She expressed the difficulty of accepting the attack if the perpetrator sought asylum in Germany. Merkel urged Germans to remain strong and open, despite fear. The truck used in the attack was removed after investigations, which were handed over to the German Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor. Media reports suggest the suspect might be a Pakistani or Afghan who arrived in Germany this year. Merkel promised justice for the crime.
