Anis amri suspect in berlin christmas lorry attack killed in a shootout in milan

A significant development in the investigation into the Berlin Christmas market attack.

On December 23, 2016, Anis Amri, a Tunisian national, was killed in a shootout with Italian police in the Sesto San Giovanni neighborhood of Milan, Italy. Amri was the prime suspect in the Berlin Christmas market attack that occurred on December 19, 2016, which killed 12 people and injured many more.

Amri, 24, was a known extremist and had been on the run since the attack. He was believed to have fled Germany after the attack and was thought to have traveled to Italy, where he was eventually tracked down by Italian police.

According to reports, Amri was shot and killed by Italian police after he refused to surrender and instead opened fire on the officers. No police officers were injured in the shootout.

The killing of Amri brings an end to a massive manhunt that had been underway across Europe. The investigation into the Berlin attack is ongoing, and authorities are still working to determine the extent of Amri's involvement in the plot.

The Berlin attack was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Europe in recent years, and it was widely condemned by governments and leaders around the world. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State (ISIS) group, which has been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks in Europe and elsewhere.
