Berlin Police Says It Arrested "The Wrong Man": Truck Attacker Is "Armed, Still At Large"
ZeroHedge ^ | December 20,2016

In the latest gaffe for German authorities, one which could further impact Merkel adversely if confirmed - something the Euro confirmed when it just tumbled to fresh 13 years lows - moments ago Die Welt reported that according to German police, the man from Pakistan who was arrested as a suspect in the attack on a Berlin Christmas market that killed 12 people on Monday was not the actual perpetrator.

"We have the wrong man," said a senior police chief. "And therefore a new situation. The true perpetrator is still armed, at large and can cause fresh damage," the paper quoted the source as saying.

The source said that all police and special forces units in Berlin have been informed and put on high alert.

Police urged Berlin residents "not to follow dangerous developments on your own," asking them to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement officers.

Shortly after, Berlin police chief Klaus Kandt admitted the mistake, saying the suspect apprehended in truck attack on Berlin Christmas market may not have been the driver. “It’s not yet certain whether this is really the driver,” Kandt tells reporters in Berlin Kandt says if suspect isn’t implicated, police will pursue an assailant “who might still be at large.”

Does not mean he is not implicated or innocent, just that he was not the driver. Probably a two man operation to hijack the truck.

Personally I think it is a million man operation. Round them up and ship them back home.

Problem solved.

I can easily see the German version of Donald J. Trump emerging as the next Chancellor.

That won’t be the only country either.

Is the German media running stories about Muslims being the true victims, and the fear of a backlash against them?

Maybe perhaps. They are still unclear, as he may not have been the driver. “It’s not yet certain whether this is really the driver,” police chief Kandt said.

Basically that is what the cynical German commenters on this story in their media are saying. They sound like FReepers.

After the “we’ve got the wrong man” one wrote, “well, we’ve got the wrong woman. That’s worse.”

And “they’ve got the wrong man? Haven’t they heard of DNA?”

My favorite comment so far is “Waiting for the police to tell us it was Russian hackers driving that truck.”

They hate their chancellor and media as much as we do.
