Germany: Police Searching for New Suspect in Christmas Market Attack

HeadlineDec 21, 2016

In Germany, police are carrying out a manhunt after 12 people were killed and 48 more wounded in Berlin after a truck drove into a Christmas market around 8 p.m. local time Monday. Police say they are now searching for a Tunisian man whose ID papers were found inside the truck used in the attack. On Tuesday, police released a Pakistani asylum seeker whom they had initially arrested as a suspect, after they could find no evidence linking him to the attack. Berlin residents packed into a church Tuesday afternoon near the Christmas market to mourn the victims. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
