BERLIN/DUESSELDORF (Reuters) – German police are looking for an asylum-seeker from Tunisia after finding an identity document under the driver’s seat of a truck that ploughed into a Berlin Christmas market and killed 12 people, officials and security sources said on Wednesday.
The federal prosecutor’s office offered a reward of up to 100,000 euros (£84,400) for information leading to the capture of the suspect, whom it identified as 24-year-old Anis Amri.
“Beware: He could be violent and armed!” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement, in which it described Amri as 1.78 metres (5’8″) tall, with black hair and brown eyes.
German police commandos raided two apartments in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg late on Wednesday but did not find Amri, Die Welt newspaper reported, citing investigators.
Amri’s father and security sources told Tunisia’s Radio Mosaique that he had left Tunisia seven years ago as an illegal immigrant and had spent time in prison in Italy.

This seems to be ‘tricky’. Would it not be possible that the terrorist purposely planted a wrong ID card? (Can he really be that stupid to ‘plant’ his own?)
We (Pakistani) demand a public apology from International Media and German Interior Minister for spreading baseless news about the suspect and revealed its identity as Pakistani even when they were not sure. It has hurt the sentiments of a Pakistani. So after all these hateful comments the arrested man from Pakistan was not the driver of the truck…..
It’s just been confirmed by Berlin officials that they made a mistake … will hit media soon enough. They probably just arrested the nearest brown person …
Now sickening uncivilized white Caucasian Christianitists could understand what the people in the Middle East and North Africa went through since 9/11 invasions and illegal bombing by NATO.
When you think about the sheer number of refugees… So many hundreds of thousands and there’s only one or two nutters amongst them? I was in a class of 30 at school and I recall at least three of them being utter gits. Out of my year at school we had half a dozen criminals within a few years of GCSE’s, including one or two murderers. So from my POV the refugees seem to be more lawful and peaceful than most…
White right-wingers from the West are more dangerous than Muslims from the East.
This is so sickening. How have they not even caught the perpetrator yet? How exactly do you drive a massive lorry in to a bunch of people and get away with it? Insane. My thoughts and prayers are with all those lost and affected. The truck was owned by a hook-nose while an innocent Muslim was wrongfully and promptly blamed for the crime he did not commit. 9/11 comes to mind. No need to complain because you are the ones who have destabilised the Arab world and now you are having a taste of your own medicine. Police saying now the Pakistani guy is innocent. They arrested the wrong person! “”Every thing we know”” but sad the German authorities don’t know the attacker identity and yet restrained an innocent for hours.!!!
We know exactly nothing about the perpetrator. There are serious doubts that the arrested Pakistani is the perpetrator. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack and police and investigative services are investigating in ALL directions and there are currently no clear clues whether this was indeed an Islamic attack or not. So can we keep the Islamophobia out of here, please? I’m asking as someone who was born and raised in Berlin and who is currently living there. I am sick and tired of right-wing nutters always creeping out of their holes and trying to make diverse and open cities into symbols for their propaganda. #MyCityIsNotYourSymbol
Leave them alone, get out of their countries, stop meddling into their political affairs, stop supporting their enemies, stop sucking up their resources, and they will stop retaliating. Simple really.
The dehumanisation of every other culture except our own has to stop humanity has learnt nothing. It is one planet and we are one people. Peace and love to you. If Muslims were ‘slaughtering’ each other ‘on a massive scale for a millennia’ wouldn’t Islam be extinct by now? Instead it’s the fastest growing religion.
I am a Muslim from Pakistan, living in London since 1967 with my 13 grand children. I just want to tell the German people that you have my prayers, love, solidarity and support. You are wonderfully generous people who did not deserve to go through such trauma AT ALL.
And to all the people hating on Muslims.. Can I just remind you that in THIS month alone terrorist attacks have hit Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, Malaysia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Yemen, Jordan, Bangladesh and West Bank: ALL Muslim countries. But you probably didn’t hear about them because the media tries to hide the fact that Muslims are the BIGGEST victims of ‘Islamic’ terrorism.
Have you read the Wikileaks and the war crimes by USA and the west. They are not leaks by Muslims. In that it suggest war crimes by the USA and its allies. Now imagine if west didn’t kill millions of people for oil it’s not a secret anymore they have even apologised for Iraq. Funding isis in Syria, Gitmo, Palestine, by killing millions of innocent people don’t you think some will seek revenge? I don’t condone terrorism but I can see why they do it
Please know that we are in the fight against terror, together.
– Peace, love and blessings be upon you all.
