In 2016, Germany repeatedly became a target of terrorist attacks. The most recent of which took place on December 19, when a truck rammed into the crowd at a Christmas market in the center of Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 48 others.
The suspected perpetrator, 24-year-old Tunisian citizen Anis Amri, was shot dead a few days later by the police in Milan, Italy, after he was stopped for a routine check.
