European Violence Amidst Cloud of Muslim Migration

by Douglas V. Gibbs

Berlin, Germany: A Mafia-style car bomb explosion rocked central Berlin.  The victim was a 43 year old man who was killed by the blast.  The 43 year old man killed in the blast was known to the police for drugs and violence offences.  His car was registered to a woman in Berlin with a "Turkish-sounding" name.

Police have ruled out terrorism and believe the "hit" is more likely linked to organised crime, it was claimed.  Police initially thought the car had been destroyed as a result of a collision.  But investigations prompted the bomb squad to be called in and an explosives expert was seen examining the wreckage.

The homicide police division is investigating but the reasons behind the explosion remain unclear.

Brussels, Belgium: Gunfire has erupted in Brussels during an 'anti-terror raid'.  The shots were fired in a southern suburb of the Belgian capital, and an officer was lightly injured during the counter-terrorism operation.  According to sources, the raid was linked to the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015 during which 130 people were killed.
