city people are still able to escape into west berlin. by now there are rumors that the regime plans to some day build a structure, perhaps a wall, to permanently separate west berlin from the east. thus cutting off the last hope of escape. and so by the early 1960s, 2,000 east germans a day are fleeing into west berlin. the east german leader tries to quell the surge of escapes by going on airways and saying, this is a quote, no one has any intention of building a wall. but one month later that is exactly what he does. what starts as a bausched wired and brick wall, eventually become as 12-foot high, three feet thick high wall with rounded top to prevent grasping. wire mesh, elect call fencing is installed, tripwires, searchlights and death strip, a 100-yard gauntlet of carefully raked sand which makes it easy to spot the footprints of escapees. the wall stretches over 100 miles, completely encircling berlin and seals the country. one year later in 1962, to my grand parents, especially my opas great disappointment, his youngest son, my u

police are on the hunt for the man who drove a semi-truck through a crowded christmas market in west-berlin. scott mclean has more on who authorities are looking for. in germany police believe this may be the face of terror. a man they suspect drove a semi-truck loaded with steel through a crowded christmas market -- leaving 12 dead and 48 injured. >> reporter:anis amri -- is a 24-year tunisian 'under urgent suspicion' -- urgent because police say he could be violent, and armed. ralf jÄger/german interior minister: we want to be successful in our manhunt, we want to arrest that person and question him, and this is why you need to give time to the berlin investigation services. authorities found amri's identification in the cab of the truck. along with the body of the rightful driver -- a polish man who was shot dead. in a statement, isis called the perpetrator of the attack a "soldier of the islamic state." german police say amri was already on their radar. he was arrested in august with forged documents en route to italy. but a judge let him go. he had also raised red flags for police when

on monday in west berlin. police say the truck might have been stolen from a construction site in poland. the government said it was probably a deliberate attack, but it is still under investigation. police are refusing to speculate on whether it is or is not terrorism, but it does remind us of what happened in july, in nice, where a truck plowed into a crowd of people celebrating bastille day. that killed more than 80 people. the investigation is ongoing into this. angie: all right, thank you. the investigation continues. let's check in on the first word headlines from around the world with sophie kamaruddin. sophie: a gunman is on the run after worshipers were shot at an islamic center in zurich. three were wounded as they were praying. the shooter's at large and heavily armed police are deployed in the area. police say the dead body of another person was found later a few minutes walk from the islamic center. it is unclear if they are linked. investigators looking for the missing malaysian airlines plane sa

compartment of this large-scale black panel truck that plowed into this christmas market in downtown west berlin but we don't know more than that. i suspect by the end of the evening we'll know more, maybe even by the end of this hour. but it's interesting, this terrible assassination of the russian diplomat in turkey and this carnage in berlin, both of those two very terrible, very dramatic things come right on the heels of two other really big attacks that happened yesterday that didn't gets much attention in part because they happened on sunday, not monday. but in large part because they happened outside of the west. they are both a really big deal, though. yemen yesterday, the port city of aiden and yemen, a suicide bomber disguised himself as a crippled man and they were collecting their salaries and he blew himself up and killed 49 other people in the process. most, if not all of whom, were police officers and soldiers. so that was yesterday in yemen. also yesterday, there was a deadly and complex attack by multiple attackers in the nation of jordan. this one reportedly started with an exp

it's right at the centre of west berlin. et there would be would be an obvious target if you wanted to attack a christmas market in berlin. no bollards or cctv and the prime suspect not under proper surveillance before hand. the berlin police, i'm not... i'm a friend of germany, i appreciate the awful tragedy that's happened, but in the past where islamist attacks have taken place in germany the police are said they are lone wolves, deranged people, something we hear repeatedly. the argument that these people are lone wolsst wolves, people are lone wolsst wolves, people appear to be lone wolves because we are ignorant to the extent to which they are part of a network. i'm not impressed, i have to say, by the berlin police. it is the berlin police, there is no national terror command like the united kingdom. it is the berlin police there has clearly been a failure by the german secret intelligence service who also intercept communications. they are a mixture of mi6 and gchq in the federal republic. the bfv, the german mi5, the

of the world, there would be cameras and they would be able to track this truck, especially in west berlin. they've been able to track this but largely because of germany's history, they don't have this kind of surveillance, if you will. >> you're correct. there are certain cities that are better at monitoring than others and certain cities that have stronger police departments working counterterrorism issues, the nypd, for example, great resources on the intelligence side of the equation, so german officials and law enforcement in countries like europe, cities like brussel, they are inundated. they don't have enough experts tracking these individuals aprior to the attack i think we'll know more once they find the suspect and they are able to apprehend cell phone records and all of that. that's probably the next step in the investigation. >> this is a moment of great peril for angela merkel and her government, isn't it? >> it is. not just because it's holiday season and not just because this happened in an open place market. if this individual was seeking potential asylum, came from tunisi

this christmas market is one of the main ones in the west berlin. only five miles away from my house, heading there right now. the latest we have is that apparently this truck came from one of the streets close to the christmas market. the market itself is in a very busy pedestrian zone. and from what we hear the truck simply plowed into the market and hit several market stalls. there was an eyewitness said it was going 40 miles per hour and showed no signs of slowing down as it went into the christmas market. it's unclear at this point, the police tell us whether or not it's terror related. there are some sources that say early indications are that it is. the latest that we got from the police literally a couple of minutes ago was that they say they can confirm there are multiple dead and at least 50 people injured. so it is a major incident that happened here in berlin tonight, brooke. >> let's back up a couple of steps. just to set the scene here, you are six hours ahead from east coast time it's 9:00 at night, hustling and bustling couple days b

this plaque semi truck carrying a load of steel plowed into a crowded christmas market in west berlinlast night there has been an arrest in this case. german authorities say they think he was the wrong guy, isis today took responsible for this attack on the berlin christmas market. but there is nobody in custody in conjunction with that attack. the guy they arrested, they let go. is it significant? is it strain him? is it important that isis claimed responsibility for this attack in berlin before we know who the attacker is, before we know he is dead or in custody or escaped? how do we make sense of that, a reporter for the "new york times" who covers isis, al qaeda and trim. thank you for being here. >> it's my measure. >> so isis did not immediately claim berlin him now they have. >> right. it's taken them about 24 hours, which is starting to be on the long end of isis. they usually take a couple of hours to we feel hours to chal ap attack. 24 hours is when the news cycle is so heavy with news of this event seems like a very long time. >> why is it taking longer? do we know it's tak

essentially a shopping area in west berlin, and as such, these people go for the crowds and only last week in germany, if you remember, they arrested -- intercepted a 12-year-old boy, iraqi german citizenship, who tried to blow up the christmas market in a town hundreds of miles away and also was self-recallized, not below rate operated by anybody, just sat in his room and watched the propaganda individual wyoming and decided he wanted to kill people. >> thank you very minute. we do know as well, and fox news is reporting now that other western european cities and governments are hunkering down amid fears of followup such attacks. done always happen but the fear is right now that in one wants to take charges. to former d.c. homicide detective rod wheeler how like that and is the copycap nature of terrorist attacks. first, rod, on them take nothing chances and other european cities and capitals doing just that. obviously a good idea. >> exactly. it's definitely a good idea. there was intelligence, as the report indicated, that came out over two weeks ago and indicated and gave distribu

this is also a very important shopping area in west berlin. if we pan out a little bit, you can see that church that was bombed in world war ii and was sort of kept in that state of ruin to become a landmark here in the city. this area, this pedestrian zone, is one where we've seen thousands of people on t especially at this point in time being on that christmas market doing their shopping, and then, of course, very, very vulnerable to this attack that apparently took place here, brianna. >> do we know anything about the suspect? you said there is a co-driver that died in all of this. but they have someone in custody, yes? >> reporter: yeah, there's very little that we know about the potential suspect that they've apprehended. they believe, obviously, that it was the person who was driving this truck. it appears as though after this incident took place that he actually escaped from the scene initially and then was apprehended, i would say, about a mile, maybe two miles away from this area as the german authorities, of course, not only cordonin
