The identity document that was found under the truck’s driver’s seat was issued to Anis Amri, German prosecutors say they are searching for a 24-year-old Tunisian suspect named Anis Amri after finding an identity document in the truck that ploughed into a Berlin Christmas market on Monday, killing 12 people.
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Wednesday that authorities had identified the new suspect but did not know for sure whether he was the man behind the attack.
“There is a new suspect we are searching for – he is a suspect but not necessarily the assailant,” the minister told reporters.
A spokesperson for Tunisia’s foreign ministry said it was trying to verify the individual’s information.
