MILAN, Italy (AP) - A manhunt that extended across Europe is over, with today's death of Anis Amri in a shootout with police in Milan, Italy. They had spotted him during a routine patrol outside a train station.
Amri was the Tunisian man who was suspected of carrying out the Christmas market attack in Berlin earlier this week that left 12 people dead. Italian police say he traveled from Germany through France and into Italy after the attack -- at least some of it by train. French officials are refusing to comment on how he got through the country unnoticed.
Despite today's death of the suspect in this week's deadly attack, Germany's interior minister says the threat of additional attacks "remains high" in his country. And he says security won't be scaled back. Officials are investigating whether Amri had help in planning Monday's attack.
Germany's chancellor today spoke with Tunisia's president -- who told her that he firmly condemns what he called a "cowardly terrorist act."
Meanwhile, Italy has expelled a 37-year-old Tunisian man who showed signs of radicalization while in jail, sending him on a flight home.
