Before being shot dead, Anis Amri left #Berlin for France, and then Milan - having started in Italy. Death knell for EU freedom of movement.

yup. that's open borders for you.

Conflicting news reports previously suggested the opposite. The German Police claimed that the suspect was hiding in Berlin. On Thursday, RBB released CCTV footage showing him at a local mosque one day after the attack. The police said Amri was injured, and therefore would not risk travelling too far.

German federal police had issued a rare international wanted notice for Mr. Amri—who arrived in Germany last year after time in an Italian prison—and offered a €100,000 ($104,000) reward, warning that he could be armed and dangerous. German authorities have come under criticism over accusations they failed to stop Mr. Amri, a 24-year-old asylum seeker, despite being aware of his radicalization.

As the WSJ adds, since the Monday attack, German security and judicial officials have said they had known about the potential risks he posed for about a year, had put him under surveillance and even detained him briefly, but failed to deport him and later lost track of him. The extent of authorities’ prior knowledge and growing concern about the danger Mr. Amri posed was made even more apparent on Thursday when a senior U.S. official said Germany had notified the U.S. about him. U.S. authorities then added his name to a terrorism watch list.

German officials in November provided more information and U.S. officials decided to put Mr. Amri’s name on a no-fly list, an indication that they believed he posed a more significant threat than they previously thought, the official said.

With Amri's permanent silencing, any chance of a prompt discovery what the alleged killer's motives and connections, has been taken away.

Here We Go Again: Syria's Assad Named As Suspect In Chemical Weapons Attack | Zero Hedge

just when Syria is closing down on victory and the UN had reached towards a peace plan, another chemical attack by Assad's regime allegation surfaces.

so let me get this straight. they're telling us that the regime that voluntarily surrendered all of its chemical weapon stockpile and is already winning the war would use chemical agents against its own citizen for no good reason, all the while ignoring countless instances where Al Nusra(now known as US supported Al Sham) and other so called "rebels" have been using chemical weapons most notably in Aleppo.
