German Authorities On A Man-Hunt : A Tunisian Suspect For the Lorry Attack In Berlin

After the lorry attack on a Berlin Christmas market that happened on Monday, prosecutors have identified their prime suspect who is declared armed and dangerous and he could be anywhere across Europe. They identified him by name, Anis Amri who is a Tunisian of age 23.

According to Telegraph, He was described as average height and weight, with black hair and brown eyes. German authorities offered a reward of up to 100,000 Euros for his arrest. Judicial sources say the suspect was monitored in Berlin between March and September on suspicion of planning a robbery while paying for automatic weapons for use in an attack. However, the surveillance was lifted for lack of evidence.

The attack on Monday killed 12 people and wounded 48 of which 12 are seriously wounded. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the assault, one of Germany's deadliest demonstrations of psychological warfare in decades. The repercussions have been entangled by a messed up look for the driver, who has stayed on the loose.

NYTimes reported that the man had a connection to Abu Walaa, a 32-year-old Iraqi Salafist captured in Germany a month ago. Mr. Amri was recorded as having entered Italy in 2012, as per German news accounts. He ventured out to Germany in July 2015 and connected for shelter in April this year, getting papers that permitted him to remain in the nation incidentally. He lived for a period in lodging assigned for refuge seekers in the city of Emmerich am Rhein, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most crowded state, and in Berlin.

German President Joachim Gauck met harmed casualties of the assault at the Charite hospital in Berlin on Wednesday. He said his meeting with a man who was hit by a pillar while helping a harmed individual reminded (the casualties) of their inborn quality. Local people and evacuees sang together in memory of the casualties on Wednesday close to the Kaiser Wilhelm Commemoration Church, near the scene of the assault.
