Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany won’t give in to Islamist terrorism and voiced hope that the main suspect in the Berlin Christmas-market attack that killed 12 people will be caught soon.
“We have known in theory for a long time that we too are a target of Islamist terrorism,” Merkel told reporters on Thursday after a visit to the criminal investigation branch of the Berlin police. “Of course it’s something completely different when it actually happens.”
