Berlin Attacker May Still Be at Large as Doubt Cast on Suspect

[oberliner]

German police are hunting for the driver of a heavy truck that deliberately plowed into a Berlin Christmas market, after voicing doubt that the suspect arrested for Monday’s terrorist attack was responsible.

Police in the German capital questioned a suspect arrested near the scene who they believed was the driver of the truck that rammed into crowds on a square in the heart of west Berlin. The individual denied any involvement and the investigation by Germany’s federal prosecutor -- who steps in on terror cases or other major crimes targeting state security -- is ongoing, according to Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere.

“It’s not yet certain whether this is really the driver,” city police chief Klaus Kandt told reporters in Berlin, confirming a report that first appeared in the Welt newspaper. Police remain “especially watchful” and urge the public to do the same, the force said in a Twitter post.

1. So it may not be terrorism after all?

Maybe this whole thing was just a horrible accident?

2. No, the truck was stolen for the purpose of ramming into the crowd.

Apparently the driver got away in the aftermath.
