Amsterdam - Dutch police said on Wednesday

they were investigating whether the man believed responsible for

last week's deadly Christmas market attack in Berlin may have

traveled through the Netherlands.

Twelve people died in the December 19 attack. The Tunisian

suspect, 24-year-old Anis Amri, was shot dead on December 23 by Italian

police.

Wim de Bruin, spokesman for the National Prosecutor's

Office, said there were "signs" 24-year-old Amri had passed

though the Netherlands on his way to France, and an

investigation was ongoing.
