12.23pm While German authorities have been cautious about confirming the dead man's identity, Italy's interior minister said there was not a "shadow of a doubt" that it was Amri. Police said he was identified using facial recognition data and fingerprint analysis.

11.16am Marco Minnitti, the Italian interior minister has confirmed Amri is the man killed.

"The person who was killed, there is no doubt that he is Anis Amri," he said

"He was the most wanted man in Europe and we immediately identified him and neutralised him. This means our security is working really well."

"We have let the German federal prosecutor’s office know. We have told their police force and authorities."

Lots of applause in press conf, Minitti thanking "extraordinary" officers of Italy.

11.08am The Italian newspaper il Giornale has tweeted a picture which it says is of the square.

"Anis Amri has apparently been killed last night in a shootout on the outskirts of Milan," reads the tweet.

11.03am Spiegel is reporting that Amri was shot on the May 1st square in the Sesto San Giovanni neighbourhood in the north of Milan.

He shouted "Allah hu Akbar" before drawing a weapon and shooting at two officers. They returned fire fatally wounding him, according to the report.

German prosecutors have not yet confirmed the details.

11.00am Reuters reporting that he shot and injured a police officer after being asked for ID

10.55am An Italian magazine is claiming that Amri was shot in a "routine road check" at 3am on Friday morning.

La Stampa, meanwhile are reporting that In his backpack, police found a train ticket from France.

10.44am Reports are coming through that Amri has been shot and killed after a shootout in Milan, Italy.

10.39am Broadcaster RBB reports that Amri was spotted on CCTV eight hours after the attack waiting outside a mosque in the central Moabit district of Berlin.

According to the report he was filmed early on Tuesday morning outside the mosque, which is a Salafist meeting point know to German intelligence services. He had been spotted at the mosque twice earlier in the month. 

10.31am Police in Hamburg are reviewing whether Amri could have been the man who stabbed a teenager to death there in the autumn.

The Funke media group say that there is a resemblance between the photofit and Amri, but investigators told them they have no further evidence linking him to the murder. 

Isis claimed the attack on a 16-year-old in October, but investigators doubt the claim.

10.26am Amri may have been spotted in northern Denmark.

10.23am The Süddeutsche Zeitung has an article on why Amri left his ID in the cab of the truck. Was it intentional or a mistake?

According to the article, terrorists often leave ID cards behind so that their name will be associated with the attack. It could also be a strategy by Isis to show that someone who came to Germany as a refugee was a terrorist - the hope being that this would lead to fear of all refugees.

But often those who leave IDs behind intend to die, the fact Amri fled suggests it could have been a mistake.

10.14am Every passenger on a flight which arrived in Stockholm from Berlin on Thursday evening was checked on arrival in Sweden.

According to a report in Swedish tabloid Expressen which has not been confirmed by police, the check was done because of a tip-off that a man resembling Anis Amri.

No one was detained and nor is anyone who was on board suspected of a crime, police said after the check was completed.
