The Russian ambassador to Turkey was murdered by an Islamic terrorist today.
Russia’s ambassador to Turkey has been assassinated by an off-duty police officer in front of terrified witnesses allegedly in retaliation for the crisis in Aleppo.
The gunman -smartly dressed in a black suit and tie – reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” and said in Turkish “We die in Aleppo, you die here” after shooting Ambassador Andrei Karlov in the back.
The attacker was fatally shot by police after killing Mr Karlov and wounding three others in what Russia’s Foreign Ministry has called “an act of terrorism”.
Mr Karlov, 62, was delivering a speech at an art gallery in the capital of Ankara when he was shot from behind in an attack caught on camera, and then shot at least once more at close range as he lay on the floor.
More blessings from the religion of peace. The Mirror.
This isn’t good. The murder is bad enough but this one makes a tense situation much more volatile. The Russians will not tolerate this. Watch for rapid developments in and from this story.
And the world didn’t even have time to process that attack before ISIS (who else?) launched another assault in Berlin, Germany. There, a terrorist drove a large truck through the crowd at a Christmas market – reminiscent of the Nice, France truck attack this summer.
At least nine people have been killed and more than 50 injured after a lorry ploughed through a crowd of shoppers at a busy Christmas market in Berlin.
German police at the scene have indicated the incident is likely to be a terror attack.
The vehicle sped through a crowd of shoppers at the Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz Square near the Kurfuerstendamm Avenue in west Berlin.
According to local reports the driver has not yet been apprehended, and police have now launched a manhunt.
That story is developing also. It happened while I was writing the above Turkey story. Sadly, attacks like this, against Westerners in places like Germany, have almost become routine, the new normal. This trend must be reversed.
The Germans (and the rest of the West) should watch the Russian reaction and emulate it.

Political correctness is killing justice.
This is beyond infuriating.
It’s just plain killing. And Merkle wants another term.
Nail on the head as ever Perrin.
And the children of today will be raised not knowing what it is like to live in a world without fear. They will grow up with a constant, clear and everpresent death threat that can come at anytime and from any direction. This is the way life is now, this is not an anomaly this is the status quo. It will not pass quietly, it will not fizzle out. You can defeat an enemy as has been proven historically, you cannot however kill an ideal.
We cannot repel borders or defend our shores because the enemy is here and he has his feet under the table. This is what WW3 looks like. And in years to come when the children ask “What did you do in the war Grandad?” The reply will be ” I got quite angry on Twitter”. It would appear that the best we can do is put the national flag of the week in the background of our avatar, with our best heartfelt face front and centre,. Candle light vigils will become a regular place to meet friends or potential partners, a real social affair,we could call it #PRAY FORUM, although we will have to disperse by 9pm to conform with the curfew that has been implemented by our government, for our own safety, because they care about us and want us to be happy, Martial law can be fun if we adjust our mindset, we may even come to enjoy the legally enforced house arrest.
This is our brave new world?

Thank you, Jon. Yes, the whole west is under house arrest while the invaders roam freely. UK untied. America unhinged. And it happened so fast.
