<p>Tragedy struck Berlin Monday when a semitrailer crashed into a Christmas market full of holiday shoppers. Twelve innocents were killed and dozens more were injured.</p>
<p>The suspect &ndash; Tunisian migrant Anis Amri &ndash; fled to Italy and was stopped by two police officers on the outskirts of Milan early Friday morning. He ;pulled out a gun when asked for his ID and shot one of the officers in the shoulder. The other officer immediately shot back, unknowingly killing the &ldquo;most-wanted man in Europe,&rdquo; said Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti.</p>
<p>It is unclear just how Amri managed to slip out of Berlin and travel into Italy so quickly. Authorities ;say he has used several names and nationalities during his travels throughout Europe.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old had a criminal record in Europe and in Tunisia that included hijacking, assault, and arson. He spent four years in an Italian prison, during which authorities submitted a report on his radical behavior.</p>
<p>Italy tried to deport him, but ended up releasing him when Tunisia refused to take him back. Germany tried but failed to deport him when he asked for asylum there a year later.</p>
<p>The Germans linked Amri to an ISIS recruiter and the young main became the subject of a terrorism probe. He was caught researching bomb-making and trying to purchase a gun online, but &#8220;officials felt they never had enough evidence to detain him,&rdquo; reports <em>The Washington Post.</em></p>
<p>Just a few hours after his death, an ISIS-linked news source published a video of Amri swearing allegiance to the terrorist organization.</p>
<p>&ldquo;God willing, we will slaughter you like pigs,&rdquo; he said in the video, which was allegedly filmed less than two miles from the German Chancellery in Berlin. &ldquo;To my brothers everywhere, fight for the sake of Allah. Protect our religion. Everyone can do this in their own way. People who can fight should fight, even in Europe.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Monday&rsquo;s attack in Berlin combined with the July attack in Nice, France and rising crime rates surrounding Germany&rsquo;s new migrant population have incited a widespread demand for reform and increased security that threatens citizens&#8217; privacy while promising to keep them safe.</p>
<p>Amri&rsquo;s death may have ended a desperate 72-hour manhunt, but it has also exposed the flaws within Europe&rsquo;s deportation and migrant methods and open border policies.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The Amri case raises a number of questions,&rdquo; said Chancellor Angela Merkel. &ldquo;We will now press ahead and look into how far state measures need to be changed.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;If there are others who are guilty or accomplices, we will hold them accountable,&rdquo; she promised (this will be difficult now that the suspect is dead).</p>
<p>A law that would allow increased video surveillance in train stations and other public places is already in the works. And Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziè;re is pushing an existing policy that would allow Germany to detain rejected asylum-seekers who represent a &ldquo;danger to public safety.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I told the president that we have to significantly speed up the return process and continue to increase the number of returnees,&#8221; said Merkel. &ldquo;We can be relieved at the end of this week that an acute danger has ended. The general threat of terrorism, however, continues to exist, as it has for many years.&rdquo;</p>
