German police detain alleged contact of Berlin truck attacker

German police on Wednesday detain a Tunisian national on suspicion of having ties to Anis Amri, the suspected Berlin truck attacker gunned down by Italian police last week, prosecutors say.

“The deceased suspect Anis Amri had saved the number of this 40-year-old Tunisian national in his phone. The investigations indicate that he may have been linked to the attack,” the federal prosecutor’s office says in a statement.
