Reuters - Tunisian security
forces have arrested three suspected militants after uncovering their links to
Anis Amri, the Tunisian national believed responsible for the
Berlin Christmas
market attack that killed 12 people, Tunisia's Interior Ministry said on
Saturday.
The ministry said
Amri's nephew was among the three men and had been in touch by social media
messaging with Amri, who was killed on Friday by Italian police after he pulled
a gun on them during a routine search.
In Spain,
intelligence services are investigating a possible connection via Internet
between Amri and a Spanish resident on Dec. 19, Interior Minister Juan Ignacio
Zoido told radio station COPE on Saturday.
He said police and
security forces were studying the information and deciding whether to make any
arrests.
Amri, 24, is
suspected of ploughing a truck through the Berlin market on Monday. In a video
released on Friday after his death, he is seen pledging his allegiance to
militant group Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
