Chancellor Angela Merkel ordered a review of German anti-terror measures after the Berlin Christmas market attack and pressed Tunisia, the suspected attacker’s homeland, to take back more asylum seekers.
With 12 people dead and about 50 injured after the assailant drove a truck driven into a festive crowd on Monday, political risks for Merkel have increased further as she seeks re-election next year. Support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party rose and backing for Merkel’s Christian Democrat-led bloc declined in a poll published Friday.
