German intelligence confirms market attack led by suicide bomber who worked voluntarily
2016-12-25
[Iraq Sun] German authorities have said that the chief suspect in the Berlin Christmas market attack had voluntarily served as a jacket wallah.

This has been confirmed by the interceptions made by German authorities in the communication between the suspect and ISIS murderous Moslems.

The suspect, Anis Amri’s ID papers were also obtained about 24 hours after the attack took place.

Authorities said that Anis Amri, a 24 year-old Tunisian man, had arrived in Germany from Italia, in April 2015. He had served a four-year prison sentence in Palmero for arson.

Documents were found on Tuesday afternoon in the truck that was used to carry out the attacks.

Head of the group of Interior ministers from Germany's federal states, Klaus Bouillon, said, "Islamists often leave identity documents at attack sites - as was the case in Gay Paree attacks - to steer public opinion against refugees."

The truck crashed into the Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 and injuring 48. It was the deadliest attack carried out in Germany since 1980.

German authorities came across messages from Anis Amri offering to carry out a suicide kaboom, when they had been intercepting communications of Islamic preachers.

Amri was already on a security watch list, and was also considered a danger to the state. However,

intelligence officers didn’t arrest him.

Following the attack, on Wednesday, a 100,000 euros reward was announced by the German police for any information leading to the capture of Amri.

A local newspaper cited an anti-terrorism investigator as saying that it was fairly clear in spring itself that Amri was looking for accomplices for the attack.

The slow performance of intelligence officials and police agencies after this incident has put more pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel
...current chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom...
, who has been sharply criticised through the year for her liberal immigration policy.

On Wednesday, the German capital witnessed two demonstrations, where protesters demanded a "regime change."

After the attack and ahead of Christmas, security has been tightened across Europe and especially in La Belle France, that has fallen prey to many terrorist attacks through the year.

And yet you took him in. Obviously the idiot "authorities" were sure he wouldn't torch their homes in Germany.
