Man arrested for Berlin truck attack likely the wrong person
Berlin police say a man arrested for the truck attack in the German capital is not the actual perpetrator, who is still on the loose.
“We have the wrong man,” a police official tells the German paper De Welt
The attack Monday saw a truck plow into a crowded Christmas market in the heart of the German capital, killing at least 12 people and injuring nearly 50 in what police described as an “intentional” act and a suspected “terror attack.”
The man initially arrested is a Pakistani who entered the country about a year ago.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the market carnage was a “terrorist act” likely committed by an asylum seeker.
