The article says "A routine request for ID papers outside a deserted train station in a Milan suburb at 3 a.m. Friday led to a police shootout that killed the Tunisian fugitive wanted in the deadly Christmas market attack in Berlin".

It seems the Italian police in Milan stopped Amri in a routine check. That sounds similar to carding in Toronto where police were stopping people to ask questions but Canadians protested against that. 

Canada isn't immune from Muslim terrorist attacks. We've had the before.

I wonder if we will need that sort of police checking in Canada the future.
