    Look at the map on the BBC website, it travelled a fair distance. One confirmed dead and 35(?) injured.

    The BBC article is quite interesting. Talks of how vehicles have been used to target pedestrians across Europe for a year. Fails to mention the Nazi who did exactly this just a few days ago in america

    I agree with the sentiment but maybe it's because America isn't in Europe?

    Edit: I've just seen the article and it is listed as the first bullet point so it must have been updated since you saw it.

    Yes the article has been changed. I know America isn't in Europe but the original article was still quite selective in its ignoring of the events across the pond as they selected to only mention the European incidents which fit the agenda
