BERLIN, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – German police are searching
for a Tunisian man in connection with the deadly truck attack on a crowd at a Berlin Christmas market, media reported Wednesday.
The man is aged 21 or 23 and known by three different names,
according to reports in the daily Allgemeine Zeitung and the Bild newspaper.
Both said asylum office papers believed to belong to the man were
found in the cab of the truck.
The documents, which announced a stay of deportation, were found
under the driver’s seat of the 40-tonne lorry that barrelled through the Christmas market in the heart of the German capital.
Police were reportedly searching for the suspect, who was born in the
southern Tunisian city of Tataouine, in the western state of North
Rhine-Westphalia.
Twelve people were killed in what German authorities have called a
“terrorist attack” in Berlin late Monday, including the Polish driver of the
truck.
