Police raid 3 homes in Berlin as manhunt for Market Attack suspect continues
German special police have raided three apartments in Berlin as search continues for a Tunisian man suspected of having links to the deadly Christmas market attack, local media reported Thursday.
The searches were carried out simultaneously in Berlin’s districts of Kreuzberg, Moabit and Prenzlauer Berg at around 4 a.m. local time (03:00 GMT), according to the Bild newspaper.

The suspect, identified by German prosecutors as 24-year-old Anis Amri, was not found at any of the locations, the outlet reported. A Europe-wide manhunt has been underway since Wednesday. German investigators are looking for an attacker who hijacked a Polish truck and rammed it late Monday into a busy Christmas market in central Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 49. The only suspect was detained at the scene and released Tuesday for lack of evidence.
