Berlin market attack suspect most likely traveled through Nijmegen of Netherlands

Anis Amri, the Berlin attack suspect, was probably at Nijmegen train station in the Netherlands two days later, the Dutch public prosecutor said Wednesday in a statement.

Nijmegen, a city in the province of Gelderland in the eastern part of the country, is close to the German border.

According to the public prosecutor, Amri probably received a free SIM card in Nijmegen that has been found to him after his death in Milan, Italy.

According to the Dutch national broadcaster NOS, Amri was probably seen last Wednesday on a surveillance video at the train station in Nijmegen.

Those images are still being investigated.

The research by the Dutch police aims to determine the route taken by the man to and from Nijmegen and whether he has had contact with others.

In addition, Dutch police investigates reports of the man being seen in other locations in the Netherlands.

The research is done in close cooperation with the police and judicial authorities in Germany, France and Italy.

Anis Amri is the alleged perpetrator of a terror attack against a Christmas market in the German capital Berlin on Dec. 19, which left 12 people dead and at least 48 wounded.

He was shot dead near Milan last Friday by Italian police.

It is yet unknown how, when and in which direction Amri left from Nijmegen. All possibilities are now being reconstructed. Endit
