Berlin market attack suspect's fingerprints found in truck

December 22, 2016 22:47

The fingerprints of the Tunisian man being sought over the Berlin truck attack have been found in the vehicle's cab, Germany's interior minister has confirmed.

Thomas de Maiziere said the fingerprint discovery strengthens Germany's case linking Anis Amri, 24, to Monday's attack, which left 12 people dead and 48 others injured after the truck ploughed through a Christmas market.

German authorities have issued a wanted notice for Amri, describing him as potentially violent and armed.

de Maiziere spoke after visiting Germany's federal criminal police office alongside chancellor Angela Merkel.

German authorities have offered a reward of up to 100,000 euro for information leading to Amri's arrest.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the carnage in the German capital.
