MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Monday, a truck rammed into the crowd at a Berlin Christmas market in the center of the city, killing 12 people and injuring 49 more. The country's interior ministry has labeled the incident a terrorist attack.

The suspected perpetrator, a 24-year-old Tunisian Anis Amri, was officially put on the wanted list in Germany and Europe. Germany promised 100,000 euros ($104,000) award for any information about the suspect’s location.
