Surveillance video confirms Berlin attacker fled to Italy via Lyon |
2016-12-27 |
[FRANCE24] Surveillance footage confirms that Anis Amri, the suspected Berlin truck attacker bumped off by Italian police, transited through the French city of Lyon by train, a source close to the investigation said on Monday. "A man corresponding to the killer was spotted on the afternoon of Thursday, December 22, on a platform at the (Lyon-Part-Dieu) station wearing a cap and backpack," the source said, confirming earlier media reports. "He appears alone in these images." The source said Sherlocks are still trying to determine how Amri, 24, was able to leave the German capital and pass through La Belle France, eventually winding up in Italia. He was the focus of a four-day Europe-wide manhunt before being rubbed out by police in Milan after firing at officers. Tracking Amri and the path of the truck was thought to have been complicated by the relative scarcity of security cameras in public places in Germany. Europe's lack of border controls also posed challenges to apprehending him. |
