Anis Amri, the escaping Tunisian terror suspect, who drove a truck into a crowed at Christmas market in Berlin has been shot dead by police in Milan, Italian state prosecutors say.
The man was killed in a gun battle by police during a routine patrol in the Sesto San Giovanni area of Milan at around 03:00 on Friday (02:00GMT).
His fingerprints match those of the Tunisian main suspect in the truck bombing in Berlin on Monday which killed 12 people and left 49 injured. Germany and indeed the whole of Western Europe has been on high alert after the attack.
German officials have confirmed Anis Amri’s fingerprints were found inside the truck that was used in the market attack in Berlin on Monday evening.
