Driver of Berlin attack truck was Pakistani Update: Released for lack of evidence

According to the German newspaper Das Weld the driver of the truck which ploughed int the Berlin Christmas market murdering nine people this evening was a Pakistani national who entered Germany in February as a refugee. 

Nach Informationen der „Welt“ soll der mutmaßliche Lkw-Fahrer aus Pakistan kommen und als Flüchtling am 16. Februar 2016 nach Deutschland eingereist sein.

There is also a suggestion by that newspaper that the Polish man found dead in the lorry was shot, and may have been dead before the attack on the market. But I can’t find a specific reference in the German report. The reporter for Fox News mentions the claim in his TV report here. 

The Pakistani was released for lack of evidence. The suspect is still at large.
