The Latest: France tightens borders, still
misses suspect
MILAN (AP) — The Latest on the
investigation into the deadly truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market (all
times local):
8 p.m.
France's interior minister says his
country increased border controls on roads and trains coming in from Germany,
Switzerland and Luxembourg after the deadly Berlin Christmas market attack.
Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux did not
address a statement by Milan's police chief that Berlin attack suspect Anis
Amri had passed through France before reaching Italy, where he was killed by
police early Friday.
French officials have refused to comment
on Amri's apparent entry into France despite the increased border checks.
Le Roux, in a televised address, called
for "the greatest prudence about information currently circulating."
He said recent days have shown the
"need to further reinforce cooperation" among European countries
against extremism. France has been under a state of emergency since extremist
attacks in Paris more than a year ago
