A few hours ago, John Schindler who writes at 20 Committee (follow him on Twitter @20Committee) made this observation:

The longer Berlin police take to publicly ID the truck driver & his accomplice, you know it's something they really don't want to tell us.

— John Schindler (@20committee) December 19, 2016

Right on cue, we have a tentative ID on the driver:

Sicherheitskreise: Festgenommener ist Afghane oder Pakistani. #breitscheidtplatz Mehr im Newsblog: https://t.co/lvuPn4Oleu

This tweet says he’s either Afghan or Pakistani but the Washington Times says he is definitively Paksitani:

German authorities began early Tuesday to sketch a politically explosive portrait of the man arrested in the Berlin Christmas-market attack.

According to a report in the German newspaper Die Welt, translated with computer assistance by the Washington Times, the suspect is a newly-arrived Pakistani refugee.

(I’m assuming the “computer assistance” is Google Translate.)

And the “dead passenger” the police were reported to have retrieved from the truck?

Polish HQ says it lost contact with driver at 4pm. Poor man's body was found in hijacked truck #BerlinAttack

It looks like the truck was hijacked, the driver killed, and then the truck with the Pakistani driver made the attack. That says there is a well-developed network involved and that Germany should brace itself for follow on attacks.

Right now Germany is in the ritual-online-condolcences-to-everyone-but-please-please-don't-ask-us-who-did-this phase of the Berlin disaster.

What is it going to take to teach us that we are nuts for allowing immigration or refugees from nations that are infested to their eyebrows with terrorism unless we are admitting Christian and other religious minorities who do not adhere to the pernicious doctrine of jihad.
