Berlin terror truck 'could be displayed in German museum'

The truck used to plough into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people, could be put on display in a German museum.

Bonn's Museum of Contemporary History said it was interested in adding the truck to its collection, but added that it was “too early” to make a final decision, local media reported.

The president of the museum’s foundation Hans Walter Hütter said: “The investigation is still on-going. We need more distance [from the event] to make the right decision.”

He said the attack would not be presented from the perspective of the attacker but as “a topic of social relevance.”

He added: “It’s part of our history, whether we like it or not.”

Isis claimed responsibility for the terror attack which killed 12 people and injured 48 on December 21.

The articulated Scania truck is similar to the one used in the Nice Bastille Day attack last year.
