The Netherlands: Driver of Car in Attack Dies

The driver of a car that slammed into a crowd in the Netherlands, killing six people and narrowly missing an open-topped bus carrying Queen Beatrix and other members of the royal family, has died of injuries he suffered in the crash, Dutch authorities reported on Friday. A dozen other people were hurt Thursday when the car sped through a crowd attending a festival for the royal family in the town of Apeldoorn, then careened into a stone monument.

They provided no details as to a possible motive. link...
