There is this little story....maybe four lines at the very most....hidden in the German news this morning.
So, if you remember this Anis Amri character....the Tunisian guy who used a tractor trailer in Berlin around Christmas of 2016 to kill a dozen Germans, and wound almost 60 people....his name came up again today.
For various reasons, there just keeps coming up a piece here and there about his background, his criminal activities, and associates. Here we are...almost three years since that attack, and there's still oddball things that come out.
Today's piece? There was this picture on his cellphone of a house. It's a selfie shot. The residence? Well....it's the Berlin home for Chancellor Merkel.
The suggestion here, which journalists will basically review and lay out in simple terms....he was evaluating targets. There's pretty good odds that he was thinking over an attack involving that house or the Chancellor herself. In the end, he probably evaluated the impact and choose the Christmas Market.
Why bring this up now? No one says much about this. Maybe it was a leak, or maybe some team has decided to upgrade the security for the Chancellor.
