Berlin attack: Germany issues European arrest warrant for new suspect

AP says it has seen a European arrest warrant from Germany, which names the suspect as Anis Amri, as previously reported.

It says Amri has Tunisian citizenship and was born in the town of Ghaza. But it lists multiple aliases, many of them variants on his name, and Egyptian and Lebanese citizenship as well.

German authorities say they rejected the man’s asylum request in July.

In the EU, there are many people who come here, register themselves in many different towns under several different names, and not only conceal their identities, but also milk the welfare system at the same time. One Romanian was found in Holland to be living in 15 different towns under 15 different names, and collecting welfare under all of them. He was driving his new Mercedes around to collect his monthly payments. He got caught, so the story came out, but he is in the minority.

Guys like this are nectar and ambrosia for the far right in Europe, and the center and the left with their exaggerated "tolerance" and unwillingness to apply even their own laws to foreigners who come here to commit crime, only makes the extreme tight rub their hands with glee.
