Milan: Milan police Chief Antonio de Iesu says the suspect in the Berlin Christmas market attack passed through France before arriving by train at Milan's central station around 1 am Friday.
Italian officials say 24-year-old Anis Amri was shot dead a few hours later outside a different train station in suburban Milan after he opened fire on police who asked him for ID. They were suspicious because the station was closed at that hour.
De Iesu said Amri "surely passed through France," but he declined to provide further information about Amri's travels, citing the ongoing investigation.
German officials issued a Europe-wide wanted notice for Amri on Wednesday, after he was identified as the key suspect in the truck attack that killed 12 people and injured 56 others.
