According to Bild, the police are now searching for an extremist from Tunisia.

Earlier in the day the Spiegel magazine reported that the identity document of the 23-year old Tunisian applicant for refugee status, called Anis A., was found under the driver seat.

On Monday, a truck rammed into the crowd at a Berlin Christmas market on the Breitscheidplatz square, killing 12 people and injuring 49 more.

The country's interior ministry labeled the incident a terrorist attack.

On Tuesday, the German Federal Prosecution said that a 23-year-old Pakistani man detained following the attack was released due to no evidence proving his links to the attack.
