German Investigation - Part 4 - Age of Terror

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 2.35pm post the following, " Berliner Zeitung newspaper reports that blood and DNA found inside the cab of the hijacked lorry do not match that of the arrested man, casting further doubt on whether he was involved. "

Lets Get Real:

IF the above is true, it leads the investigators to think that the suspect or suspects could be out there in Berlin, and that they remain a threat to the public, hence the warning for the public to keep their eyes and ears open and to report any suspect action.   As German elections are coming soon, the politicians will want answers, as will the German people, if you have to worry about being run over at a Christmas event the World is in hell of a shape for the future.  That is of course what the terrorists want, to spread terror.

The German Investigation Part 3 - Age of Terror

Daily Mail: Reports " Detectives interrogating suspect Naved B, 23, have said he has no blood on his clothes, no injuries and denies hijacking a 25-tonne lorry and using it to murder 12 people and injure 48 more last night.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Police have stated that they might have the wrong man, the suspect has a low level criminal record in Germany.  The West has to get the fact that the success of drones and special forces in Syria and Iraq mean that Daesh are moving their targets to Europe.   They see Europe as an easy target, a soft target.   As Daesh has been pushed back it needs to keep its image as a threat, thus it can be expected that there will be more attacks in the near future.   It has been stated by President - ELect Trump that he will ask the Joint Chiefs to come up with a plan to erase the Daesh, lets hope Trump follow through with his promise, the West needs a leader at the moment, and Obama has failed.

The WRONG Man ?- Berlin Terror Attack - Age of Terror

Fox News: Reports " Berlin attacker still on loose, wrong man in custody, police sources tell German press "

Lets Get Real:

Thus you find this happening in this 24/7 news cycle, leads that look promising turn out to be false trails.   In good investigation takes time, but this is under the glare of TV news, that wants new leads to fill up their air time and the paper press who want to do in depth reports based on scant information.    The German Police seem to leak like all public bodies, it does not help the investigation and causes people to have a false picture.   People might read one news feed but miss out another, thus not a full picture. 

The German Investigation - Berlin Terror Attack - Age of Terror

Guardian - Live Posting: Reports in its 12.38pm post the following, " The Berlin police chief has given a press conference. He has revealed that it is not absolutely clear whether the person in police custody is the driver involved in the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. The man, an asylum seeker from Pakistan, has denied the offence. "

Lets Get Real:

This sounds like a long investigation, on one front you have 12 deaths and 48 that were injured, thus the public will demand a quick investigation, but in this Global World it will take time to investigate all the leads.   From the various news feeds it looks like the Lorry was hijacked and then used as a weapon, one of the victims was a the driver who was dead in the lorry.   There COULD be someone still out there in Berlin, but that has not been confirmed and the Berlin Police are asking for the German people to report any incidents or fears they might have, thus still a developing story.

Berlin Incident = Terrorist Attack - Age of Terror

BBC News: Reports " German police say they are unsure if a man they have in custody was behind Monday's lorry attack in Berlin that killed 12 and wounded 48 others. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus German authorities have confirmed that the Berlin Tragedy was a terrorist attack, but beyond that the Police are not sure who the driver was and the man they captured has denied that he was the driver.  If the terrorist was one of the refugees that Germany took in last year the consequences for domestic German politics could be severe, there are elections coming up, and any incident like this plays in to the hands of the extreme right.  Poor Berlin, to be hit at Christmas time, what a World.
