Truck ploughs into Christmas market in Berlin, injuring several people

[Niall]

The first person to announce that the suspect was Tunisian was Lutz Bachmann, the founder of PEGIDA:

A far-right leader in Germany knew the suspect in the Christmas market attack was a Tunisian just two hours after the attack - despite police initially arresting a Pakistani man, it has emerged.

Lutz Bachmann, who fronts the anti-immigrant PEGIDA group, tweeted on Monday night that he had 'internal police information' about the nationality of the lorry driver who murdered 12 revellers in Berlin.

At the time, police had announced the arrest of a Pakistani asylum seeker - it was only when he was released that Tunisian Anis Amri was publicly identified as the chief suspect.

Controversial Bachmann tweeted his information on Monday night - before police officially confirmed that they were hunting a Tunisian suspect.

He wrote: 'Internal info from the police leadership: The attacker is a Tunisian Muslim.'

When asked to explain how he knew this information, he wrote in a follow-up tweet: 'Just need the right connections and a whistleblower that is sick of the lies.'

The right connections indeed.

Possible scenario: some nutcase drove into the market in Berlin. The attack wasn't a pre-planned terror conspiracy (similar to Nice). The authorities then made it so after the fact, picking out one from a database of patsies. That patsy was always in Italy and never went to Berlin.

As if 'answering' my suspicion, they're now 'confirming' that he returned to Italy via France... because CCTV images/footage - which they won't publicize but which, an anonymous source (French intelligence) assures us - definitely shows him doing so.

What they are also slowly confirming that the polish driver was shot dead several ours before and that there was no fight between them (who would have believed that) and the media wished it to be. It's unfortunate because the driver should get awarded with a high German prize instead of supporting his wife and familiy from the very beginning instead of promoting these stupid news and ideas.

Allegedly, Anis Amri traveled back from Berlin also via the Netherlands it has emerged:
