(Deutsche Welle) A special committee of the Berlin state parliament released its comprehensive report into the December 2016 Christmas market terror attack on Monday.
The attack at the Breitscheidplatz market was the most serious act of Islamist terrorism in Germany to date. The attacker, Anis Amri, drove a truck into the market, killing 12 people. He was later shot dead by police while on the run in Italy.
The 24-year-old Tunisian national, a small-scale drug vendor and rejected asylum-seeker, was known to police and had been monitored by authorities.
More than 1,200 pages of records and 92 witness interviews were used in the report. The investigative committee found serious errors on the part of security authorities ahead of Amri’s attack, Berlin’s Tagespiegel newspaper reported.
