		</div><p>The main suspect in the Berlin Christmas market attack has been killed in a shootout with police in Milan, according to Italian news agency ANSA.</p>
<p>The shootout took place at 3am in the Sesto San Giovanni neighbourhood during a routine police check.</p>
<p>The Italian Interior minister Marco Minniti is now holding a press conference regarding the incident.</p>
<p>ANSA said the man pulled a gun from his backpack after being asked to show his identity papers, and was killed in the ensuing shootout.</p>
<p>A police officer was injured.</p>
<p>ANSA said various sources in Milan and Rome confirmed that the dead man was Anis Amri, the suspect in the Berlin truck attack on Monday that killed 12 people.</p>
<p><b>Earlier:</b></p>
<p>Reuters news agency has quoted a security source claiming that Amri had been shot dead in Milan.</p>
<p>In addition to the 12 killed, 56 were injured in Monday&#8217;s attack, which was claimed by the so-called ‘Islamic State’ group (IS).</p>
<p>German authorities issued a Europe-wide wanted notice for Amri, a 24-year-old Tunisian, on Wednesday. They offered a reward of €100,000 for information leading to Amri&#8217;s arrest, but warned he could be &#8220;violent and armed&#8221;.</p>
<p>Authorities said Amri used at least six different names and three nationalities in his travels around Europe.</p>
<p>He left Tunisia in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings and initially spent time in Italy.</p>
<p>He was repeatedly transferred among Sicilian prisons for bad conduct, with prison records saying he bullied inmates and tried to spark insurrections.</p>
<p>He served three and a half years for setting a fire at a refugee centre and making threats, among other things &#8211; but Italian authorities apparently detected no signs that he was becoming radicalised.</p>
