Moroccan Intelligence Warned Germany About Berlin Attacker Months Before 2016 Christmas Market Tragedy

Anis Amri, the author of the attack on the Christmas market in Berlin in 2016, had been pointed out by the Moroccan intelligence services long before the attack. But this information was of little use.
"The Moroccan intelligence services knew about the existence of the author of the attack on the Christmas market in Berlin, Anis Amri, in 2016 because he had had contacts with radical Islamists of Moroccan origin in Germany," writes the Belgian site 7sur7.
In November 2016, these documents were transmitted to the German authorities by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). According to the same source: "the Tunisian is described as an ’Islamonaut’ who wanted to carry out a ’project’ that he could not talk about on the phone". Let us recall that the attack took place in December while the information was known in November.
In fact, the German secret services, not knowing what to do with this information, asked the American secret services for advice. And there was no response before the truck-ram attack on the Berlin Christmas market, carried out by Anis Amri, on December 19, 2016. Twelve people killed and more than 70 injured.
