It certainly won't make any difference to my life not knowing their names. Is it going to alter yours? |

Thos who have followed this thread were wondering about accomplices/network. Telegram app features again. Quote:
Berlin market attack: Tunisia arrests suspect Amri's nephew http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-38427469Tunisian security forces have arrested the nephew of the Berlin market attacker Anis Amri and two other suspects, officials say. The Tunisian interior ministry said the three, aged between 18 and 27, were members of a "terrorist cell", and that they were detained overnight. The interior ministry statement said Amri's nephew - the son of his sister - had confessed that he had communicated with his uncle via the encrypted chat application Telegram to evade security surveillance. It said the three-member cell had been active in the towns of Fouchana, outside Tunis, and Oueslatia near Amri's hometown of Kairouan, about 150km (95 miles) south of the capital The statement added that Amri had sent money to his nephew to travel to Germany and join a jihadist group, and encouraged him to pledge allegiance to the so-called Islamic State (IS) group. Meanwhile, intelligence services in Spain are investigating a possible internet communication between Amri and a Spanish resident on 19 December, Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido told radio station COPE. wonder if that's the same sister who spoke to the press, as reported on here previously? |

der speigel opinion piece on the reaction to the attack Quote:
Now, everyone is certain who is to blame: the establishment political parties, the populists, the lying press, the scaremongers, the do-gooders and the right-wingers. The two sides of the divide no longer have much to say to each other. http://www.spiegel.de/international/...a-1127251.htmlThe Berlin attack has now demonstrated just how little overlap there is between these two parallel worlds most of the article is questionable BUT there's a good, very detailed time line there.. Also on BBC news was British public, via GoFundme, donated £40k in one day , towards family of Polish driver. |

Perhaps the families want privacy? I don't see why the need to be named if all of their loved ones have been informed of their demise.
It certainly won't make any difference to my life not knowing their names. Is it going to alter yours? |

If it's upsetting you so much not to see their pics and know their names then complain to the German authorities (who place a value on an individuals right to privacy). I'm not sure I'd like my daughter's face plastered all over the media if she'd just been murdered just to satisfy the curiousity of readers but that's just me.

One of them is still described as "missing", which is a bit weird if she's been in a morgue for several days.

I would hope it's the loved one's decision not some editor or whatever sitting in the comfort of his office hoping to boost sales or click bait.

What a fabulous Foundation they've started. I read a day or so ago that someone's started a donation fund for the Polish driver. People are so caring.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ny-order-merit The funding page set up for his family is here. https://www.gofundme.com/van9vwuk?vi...campaign=upd_n |
