The hunt for the Berlin Christmas market massacre mastermind is
over after he was gunned down by Italian police in a shoot-out outside a
Milan railway station this morning (main picture and circled inset).
Europe's most wanted man Anis Amri, 24, right, had just stepped off a
train from France when he was
stopped by a routine police patrol in the suburb of Sesto San Giovanni in the northern Italian city at 3am. The Tunisian asylum seeker screamed 'Allahu Akbar' and pulled a pistol from his bag and shot policeman Christian Movio in the shoulder. A firefight ensued with Amri cowering behind a car as he tried to flee, but Luca Scatà , inset, a trainee police officer who had only been in the job a few months, gave chase before shooting him dead in the street. An Italian minister said today they had 'without a shadow of a doubt' killed the chief suspect in the Berlin massacre, where 12 died and 48 were injured on Monday night. German police have been raiding addresses across the country in the hunt for Amri, but after arresting the wrong man it appears the ISIS terrorist was able to flee the country. Train tickets on his body show he took a train to Chambery in the Alps, before travelling to Milan.
