WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish President Andrzej Duda and hundreds of mourners on Friday attended the funeral of Lukasz Urban, the Polish truck driver who was killed and his vehicle used to crash into a Berlin Christmas market last week.

The 37-year-old father of a teenaged boy was among 12 people killed in the attack claimed by Islamic State.

Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office said on Thursday Urban had died shortly before the attack and forensic tests were needed to determine whether he had been shot with a gun later found on the attacker in Milan.
