If he left a wallet behind then why did they caught a Pakistani guy earlier?

If it's Isis, they are a pretty dumb bunch, quite possible he would be dumb enough to drop his wallet. Only problem is German police seem to be even dumber.
 
He left his wallet apparently. Maybe he thought he was going to die so had no further use of money. These guys always leave behind something which certainly makes the police job easier.
does not look good on the police. they arrested the Pakistani refugee suspect, perform forensic tests on him, then waited for the results, and then let him go based on results. and then they thought oh lets search the truck and find the wallet of Tunisian refugee suspect. :facepalm: Its so easy to be suspected of whats going on here.
 
Berlin truck attack: Tunisian fugitive 'had been under surveillance'

The Tunisian man wanted for the Berlin lorry attack which killed 12 people and injured 49 had been under surveillance earlier this year, media reports say.

Anis Amri, 23, was reportedly monitored on suspicion of planning a robbery in order to pay for guns but surveillance was lifted for lack of evidence.

Before entering Germany, he served four years for arson in Italy and faced a jail sentence in absentia in Tunisia.

The failed asylum seeker is now the subject of a manhunt across Europe.

An arrest warrant was issued after his residence permit was found in the cab of the lorry that left a trail of carnage at a Christmas market near Berlin's most famous shopping street, the Kurfuerstendamm, on Monday evening.

The German authorities are offering a reward of up to €100,000 (£84,000; $104,000) for information leading to his arrest.

Reports suggest he may have been injured in a struggle with the lorry driver, found murdered in the cab. The attack claimed 12 lives in all.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has met her security cabinet to discuss the investigation into the attack.

In another development, the German cabinet approved plans agreed last month to allow more video surveillance of public places.

he Tunisian man suspected of carrying out the Berlin truck attack was shot dead by police in Milan on Friday, Italy has confirmed.

Anis Amri, 24, was accused of killing 12 people and wounding dozens more in Monday's assault on a Christmas market, which has been claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

Italy's interior minister Marco Minniti told a press conference in Rome that Amri had been fatally shot after firing at police who had stopped his car for a routine identity check at around 3am (02.00 GMT).


Identity checks had established "without a shadow of doubt" that the dead man was Amri, the minister said.

Amri had been missing since escaping after Monday's attack in central Berlin. He had links to Italy, having arrived in the country from his native Tunisia in 2011.

Shortly after his arrival in Italy he was sentenced to a four-year prison term for starting a fire in a refugee centre. He was released in 2015 and made his way to Germany.

German police said Amri steered the 40-tonne truck in the attack, after they found his identity papers and fingerprints inside the cab, next to the body of its registered Polish driver who was killed with a gunshot to the head.

A Europe-wide wanted notice had offered a 100,000-euro (£85,000) reward for information leading to Amri's arrest.

German Interior Ministry spokesman Tobias Plate has voiced his department's relief that the suspect in the Berlin Christmas market truck attack appears to have been killed in Italy.

After Italy's interior minister, Marco Minniti, said Anis Amri had been shot in an early-hours shootout in Milan, Plate said "should this turn out to be true then the Interior Ministry is relieved that this person doesn't pose a threat anymore."

Plate said Germany had not yet received official written notification from Italy but that a German police liaison office in Rome had been informed.

Sense of relief in Germany

There's a sense of relief coming from Germany, Telegraph correspondent Louise Osborne reports.

The country's biggest newspaper Bild is leading on it's website with the headline: Es ist Vorbei! (It's over!)

People in Germany had been living with the fear that the suspect in the Berlin attack was still at large and could strike again.

Over the days following the attack, Christmas markets in the centre of the city have been free of the large crowds that usually gather throughout the festive season.
 
Berlin market attack suspect killed in shootout in Italy: security source


A man believed to be the suspect in the Berlin Christmas market truck attack was killed in a shoot-out in a suburb of the northern Italian city of Milan on Friday, a security source told Reuters.


Italy's interior minister was to hold a news conference at 1045 am the ministry said.


A short video posted on the website of Italian magazine Panorama suggested the shooting happened before dawn, with police gathered around a cordoned-off area in the dark.


The report was one of several conflicting accounts on the whereabouts of the 24-year-old Tunisian Anis Amri.


A man matching his description was seen in Aalborg in northern Denmark, the Danish police tweeted on Friday, saying people should keep away from the area as it had an ongoing operation there.


Amri was also was caught on camera by police on a regular stake-out at a mosque in Berlin's Moabit district early on Tuesday a few hours after the attack, Germany's rbb public broadcaster reported.


Amri was not a suspect at that time, and on Thursday morning, when police raided the mosque, they could not find him, rbb said.


German investigators had said they believed Amri was still lying low in Berlin because he is probably wounded and would not want to attract attention, Der Tagesspiegel, reported citing security sources.


In the early hours of Friday morning, special forces arrested two men suspected of planning an attack on a shopping mall in the city of OberhausenIn in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, police said in a statement.


The men - two brothers from Kosovo, aged 28 and 31 — were arrested in the city of Duisburg on information from security sources, they said.


A police spokesman said there was no connection between the Duisburg arrests and the Amri case, which has been claimed by Islamic State.


Amri had been identified by security agencies as a potential threat and had his application for asylum rejected, but authorities had not managed to deport him because of missing identity documents.

" If " he was the terrorist than he was a threat to Italy & France aswell.

In that case efficient intelligence sharing and well planned and executed operation knocked him down.
 
Tunisian security forces have arrested the nephew of the Berlin market attacker Anis Amri and two other suspects, officials say.

The Tunisian interior ministry said the three, aged between 18 and 27, were members of a "terrorist cell", and that they were detained overnight.

Tunisian-born Amri, 24, was shot dead by police near the Italian city of Milan in the early hours of Friday.

Monday's lorry attack on the market left 12 people dead and 49 injured.

The interior ministry statement said Amri's nephew had confessed that he had communicated with his uncle via the encrypted chat application Telegram to evade security surveillance.

It said the three-member cell had been active in the towns of Fouchana, outside Tunis, and Oueslatia near Amri's hometown of Kairouan, about 150km (95 miles) south of the capital.

The statement added that the nephew had also said he supported the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.

On Friday, IS released a video showing Amri pledging allegiance to its leader Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi.

He was shot dead during a routine police check in the Milan suburb of Sesto San Giovanni, after a three-day, Europe-wide manhunt.
The search for possible accomplices continues.
