Car bomb explosion kills driver in central Berlin
Police in Berlin say they suspect a bomb caused the explosion that killed a man who was driving through the German capital early Tuesday.
The deputy chief spokesman for Berlin police, Carsten Mueller, told The Associated Press that the explosion occurred at about 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) in the western district of Charlottenburg.
Mueller says that "investigators are working on the assumption that it was an explosive device" inside or on the vehicle that caused the blast.
