The aftermath of the truck attack. The man behind the Berlin's deadly Christmas market jihadist attack last December should have been arrested months earlier as a drug dealer, the city-state's interior minister charged on Wednesday. The Berlin minister in charge of security, Andreas Geisel, also alleged there had been a police cover-up later as the Berlin State Criminal Investigation Department had sought to deflect blame. He was shot dead by Italian police while on the run in Milan, four days after the attack which was claimed by terror group Isis. Geisel also alleged that one or more police involved had later forged a document in the cover-up of the omission.
