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. Its not yet certain whether this is really the driver, Kandt tells reporters in Berlin Kandt says if suspect isnt implicated, police will pursue an assailant who might still be at large.
They probably used info provided by the CIA and FBI.
You guys are gonna loooove this one, minister satisfied with security measures at market...
Yeah, right. Merkel told them they had the wrong guy. Doesn’t look good for a refugee to have done it. If they ever charge anyone don’t be surprised if he’s not a refugee
Channel 13 in Houston said the assassin in Turkey yelled “Praise God” in Arabic.
Per the BBC last night on the telly, the assassin said “words in Arabic”. That’s verbatim. And no translation provided.
I once worked with a Saudi from a very prominent business family that came to UCLA for education
When Bobby Kennedy was killed, the FBI rounded up all Moslems and detained them for questioning. He remarked it was an uncomfortable but not damaging experience.
——Dead guy in cab was hijacked and killed IMO——
I can go with that
I bet they pin it on a German citizen instead of an immigrant. Maybe Comey n lynch are helping out. So did they really arrest the wrong guy?
Incompetent German police led by an incompetent Merkel.
Supposedly this guy was followed by someone who was at the market, so how did they determine he was the "wrong man"?
And his name will be Muhammed Schmidt.
I would like to see her hang in the town square.
How about fingerprints on the steering wheel?
I heard an audio recording of the Turkish assassin screaming. I could clearly hear “Allahu Akhbar.” No mistake. And no surprise, either.
The story of Europe.
Read Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”. As it was then, it is now. Try being a Jew wooing Portia, and you likely would have been tortured or killed, or both. But the muslim who came to charm her...no problem there whatsoever.
