Berlin (CNN)A manhunt is underway for a 24-year-old Tunisia native in connection with this week's Christmas market attack in Berlin -- a man German authorities say may be "violent and armed."

Anis Amri is being sought in Monday's truck attack, which left 12 people dead and 48 injured, a wanted notice issued Wednesday by the German federal prosecutor's office said.

His surname means "command," in Swahili.

The assassins name translated from Turkish means Goldstein.

"Goldstein command."

Proof enough of a global conspiracy, those Jewish Turks are the worst kind. :lol:

On a real note there was actually a lot of cooperation between Israel and Turkey going back a very long time which only ended as recently as 2010. It's not unlikely he's of homogenized immigrant descent that changed his surname to something more Turkish much like Europeans would homogenize their names when immigrating to America.

The suspect apparently arrived in Germany in July 2015 and has lived in three German regions since February, mostly in Berlin, said Ralf Jaeger, the interior minister of western North Rhine-Westphalia state.

"Security agencies exchanged information about this person in the joint counter-terrorism center, the last time in November," he said.

State prosecutors in Berlin told The AP that they launched an investigation of Amri on March 14 following a tip from federal security agencies.

The tip warned that Amri might be planning a break-in to finance the purchase of automatic weapons for use in an attack. Surveillance showed that Amri was involved in drug dealing in a Berlin park and involved in a bar brawl, but found no evidence to substantiate the original warning.

The observation was called off in September, by which time Amri had disappeared from his regular haunts in Berlin, prosecutors said.

Separately, Amri's asylum application was rejected in July. German authorities prepared to deport him but weren't able to do so because he didn't have valid identity papers, Jaeger said. In August they started trying to get him a replacement passport.

This is true, nuke. Although I think it didn't end in 2010, just continued secretly. Earlier the co-operation was quite public.

Erdogan just got some populist points by attacking the Israeli Prime Minister, but Turkey and Israel have played much together. Common enemy: Syria. What happens now, we have to see as Turkey is getting closer to Russia and distances itself from the US.

Likely Merkel cannot fathom how to react here. Perhaps will loose the elections because of that.

Tough measures would be the thing that Germans actually want. Just like Dubya understood after 9/11.

She should admit she was wrong to invite millions of these violent people into Germany in the first place. It surprises me they have not dragged her out into the street and hung her like the Italians did to Mussolini yet.

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday called the recent attacks in Germany and Turkey “terrible” and suggested that he does not intend to reevaluate his plans to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States, boasting that he had been “proven to be right.”

“You know my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right. 100% correct. What’s happening is disgraceful,” Trump told reporters Wednesday when asked whether the recent violence has influenced his proposed Muslim ban.

Trump described the attack at a Berlin Christmas market as an “attack on humanity.”

“That’s what it is: an attack on humanity,” he said. “And it’s got to be stopped.”
