German police are offering a 100,000 Euro reward for information leading the the arrest of Anis Amri, the suspect in the December 19th terror attack in Berlin which killed 12 people. Police have described Amri as armed and dangerous. A European arrest warrant describes six different aliases used by Amri.
Amri is believed to be of Tunisian origin, and appears to have been know to the German authorities as a “danger” to the public. According to the Guardian Amri had links with Islamist hate preacher Ahmad Abdelazziz A, also known as Abu Walaa. He was arrested in November.
