Police said Tuesday that the driver who rammed a truck into a crowded Christmas market in the heart of the German capital, killing at least 12 people and injuring nearly 50, did so intentionally and that they are investigating a suspected terror attack, the AP reports. The truck struck the popular Christmas market filled with tourists and locals outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church near Berlin's Zoo station late Monday. On Tuesday, conflicting reports emerged about the suspected driver, and whether police had the right man. The latest:
- The BBC reports that the suspect in custody has been identified in German media reports as a 23-year-old Pakistani man named "Naved B" who entered Germany as a refugee in December 2015. After fleeing the scene of the attack on foot, he was captured more than a mile away. Police say a witness followed him. He has reportedly denied involvement.
