When I saw the title of your post, I was surprised as I first thought you had written about a car accident in France. France seems to be the favourite target of terrorists. But the targeted country doesn`t matter really because terrorists choose places frequented by people from all over the world. There is also a Polish context because 4 sisters from Krakow region went on a trip to France and two died in the attack. They were 19 and 20. The other two sisters witnessed the whole tragedy.   |

Polish President to take part in funeral of 'Berlin attack' driver
30.12.2016 08:50
Polish President Andrzej Duda will take part in a funeral ceremony on Friday for Łukasz Urban, the Polish driver who was the first victim of the recent terror attack at a market in Berlin.
Speaking to public broadcaster TVP, presidential spokesperson Marek Magierowski said that Duda will participate “not as president, but as someone who will want to directly convey his condolences to the family of the first victim of this terrible terrorist attack in Berlin”.
“It will be an expression of huge respect for Łukasz Urban, who in the eyes of many Poles is definitely a hero, a brave man. The president will attend [the funeral] because he believes that this is his role, and he should be there,” Magierowski said.
On 19 December a Tunisian man drove Urban's truck into a crowd at a Christmas fair in Berlin, killing 12 and injuring 50.
The suspect was shot dead in Milan in a shootout with police a few days later.
Urban's alleged attempt to avoid the inevitable massacre by grabbing the steering wheel while he lay stabbed in the passenger seat, has attracted international attention for his brave deeds.
However, according to the German Bild daily, a forensic report shows that the driver was shot between 4:30 and 5:30 in the afternoon and lost a lot of blood. No official timeline of events has yet been released. (rg)

Poles injured in Turin stampede
04.06.2017 13:57
Two Polish nationals were among some 1,500 people injured during a stampede following a football match in the city of Turin, northern Italy, the Polish foreign ministry has said.
According to news reports, several thousands of fans were watching a live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid at the city's San Carlo square on Saturday. A bang was heard and rumours of an explosion quickly spread within the crowd.
Images on social media showed shoes and bags left at the scene of the incident as the football supporters, mainly fans of the Italian Juventus club, scrambled to get away from the square.
Local media said that seven people, including a seven-year-old child, were seriously injured.
It was not immediately clear whether the two Poles who were injured had been hospitalised, or suffered only minor cuts and bruises.
The game was won by Real Madrid, who took the title for the 12 time.
