Photo: DPAGermany will start testing facial recognition software at a Berlin train station this summer which could help police identify and locate terror suspects more quickly, a minister said on Saturday. "We already have video surveillance in train stations, of course. "If this software proves reliable, it should be able to be used for serious crimes in other places equipped with surveillance cameras," he said. Germany has suffered several terror attacks since last summer, including the deadly assault on a Berlin Christmas market in 2016 by a Tunisian who hijacked a truck and rammed into a crowd, killing 12 people. The suspect managed to flee by bus then by train, crossing several borders before being shot and killed by police at a train station in Milan.
