Italian police shot dead Anis Amri, the man believed to be responsible for this week’s Berlin terror attack, in a shootout this morning.
The 24-year-old Tunisian travelled to Italy from France, triggering a spate of criticism from eurosceptics over Europe’s open-border Schengen pact.
Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage said Amri’s apparent ability to travel from Germany to Italy showed that the Schengen system – which allows border-free movement between 26 European states – is “a risk to public safety” and should be scrapped.
He said: “If the man shot in Milan is the Berlin killer, then the Schengen area is proven to be a risk to public safety. It must go.
“The free movement of good people also means the free movement of bad people. Expect Schengen to dominate the EU debate next year.”
Militant group ISIS acknowledged Amri’s death and his suspected role in the German attack – for which it has claimed responsibility – through its Amaq news agency.
