Shootout leaves Berlin terror suspect dead

By Around the Web

(Fox News) – Italian police killed the Islamist terrorist suspected in the deadly attack on a Berlin Christmas market, after confronting him in Milan, some 675 miles from the scene of Monday’s carnage, police said.

Anis Amri, the 24-year-old Tunisian whose monstrous attack sparked a 72-hour manhunt and raised questions about Germany’s inability to come to grips with radicals among its burgeoning refugee population, was killed in a wee-hours shootout in the Sesto San Giovanni district of the northern Italian city, police said.

Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti told reporters at a news conference that the dead man was “without any doubt” Amri. Monday’s attack in Berlin, for which ISIS has claimed credit, left 12 dead and more than 50 injured, including two Americans.
