1. At this point I would assume you may replace "suspect" with "person".

2. Good grief!

Precedent Trump would have water boarded him, pulled his finger nails out, cut his head off, and bombed his family by now.

What is wrong with these Germans?

4. Palestinian? That's the first I've heard of that - the person in the news is Pakistani

The one they've released is the one they arrested a mile or two from the scene, and who has been talked abotu for most of the day.

5. Sorry, you're right

My mistake.

6. As far as i know there has only been one arrest (and release) to date

and it was a Pakistani man.

German prosecutors say the man who was arrested after the truck attack has been released because of insufficient evidence.

The man, named as Naved B, a 23-year-old asylum seeker from Pakistan, was arrested after he was seen leaving the scene of the attack. However, police expressed doubts about whether the man they had arrested was indeed the person responsible for the attack.

Michael Behrendt, a reporter with Die Welt, who first reported police doubts that they had the perpetrator, said one main reason the police were fairly certain early on they had not got the right man was the fact that he had no blood traces on him when he was apprehended immediately after the attack, whereas the truck cab was full of blood.

The release of Naved B from custody may mean the driver of the truck is still at large, with fears that police do not know who is responsible for the attack.
