But there are no hills in Netherlands, or mountains.

But there are no hills in Netherlands, or mountains.

We have hills, we don't have mountains. (<500m is a hill, >500 a mountain, our highest point is at the three-nation-point in between Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands, the Vaalserberg (mislabeled a 'berg' = mountain) at 322.7 meters high). The whole province of Limburg is pretty hilly. Our eastern provinces have some hills too, most notably the national park Hoge Veluwe, and the 'berg and dal' area near the city of Nijmegen.
Our eastern hills aren't formed by tectonic activity though, but rather by the last ice age, with the ice mass' weight pushing up the land in it's trail. The Limburg hills are the Ardennes' foothills.

So when you say 'run for the hills', you really mean 'run for Luxemburg'?


... oh my.

Yeah, the company that owns the truck is from Poland. The Polish owner already called in to the police. His nephew was supposed to be driving the truck. It is now thought that that is the dead body found in the passenger seat. Starting to look like either the truck got stolen, or the by-rider killed the driver and took control.

This looks to be exactly the situation. They're saying that the dead passenger in the front seat is a Polish citizen. Not much of anything on the suspect other than a probably unconfirmed 'he's from Pakistan and he arrived as a refugee back in February.'

Personally I think we should ban automatic assault trucks. They are too dangerous and why would you want to walk the streets with one? Give up your trucks, citizen, trust the government to take care of you.

Guys was from AfPak apparently.  Dang Merkel for welcoming Syrians!

He came in as a refugee at the start of this year, though.

Almost 3800 people are killed by large trucks each year! We should ban large trucks!

It'll be interesting to learn more about the guy.  90%+ of Pakistani asylum seeker have their claim rejected.  I wonder if he decided to do his thing after a rejected claim.

Most terrorist victims in Europe were killed in French and German cities. Let's ban French and German cities.

What if he did it after he got told "No" by a German girl? That'll mean it was justified!

Only officials should operate trucks! They should be stored centrally in secure, guarded, armored warehouses only! The citizens of EU demand security!
