Berlin market attack possibly CIA false-flag operation: Pundit

‘On Monday, a truck crashed into a crowded market in Berlin, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens of others. Police detained a 23-year-old suspect, Navid B., a Pakistani asylum seeker. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has described the Berlin Christmas market attack as a terrorist act. The interior minister of the German state of Saarland has said that Germany is in a state of war.
Stephen Lendman, author and journalist from Chicago, told Press TV’s Top 5 that the attack in a Berlin Christmas market may be a state-sponsored “false-flag” operation to push Germany to play a more active role in the so-called war on terror in the Middle East region.
The journalist opined that “very possibly dirty CIA hands were involved in what happened in Berlin.”
“Germany is a very important US ally and an attack like this could have been staged to get Germany aroused about … terrorism to [keep] Germany on board of America’s imperial agenda in the Middle East,” Lendman said on Tuesday.’
