Italian Interior Minister: No shadow of doubt he is Anis Amir

The Italian interior minister Marco Minniti confirmed Friday that a routine police patrol in Milan stopped a suspect at 3 o’clock Friday morning. He took a pistol out of his rucksack and shot the police who asked for documents and the patrol immediately responded. The injured officer is recovering. “After inquiries, the person killed was identified without shadow of a doubt as Anis Amri,”  the suspect of the terrorist attack in Berlin.” No one was in danger in the important town of Milan except for the police.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
