PARIS (Reuters) - Leading eurosceptics were quick on Friday to blame open European borders under the Schengen pact for allowing the fugitive sought for the Berlin Christmas market attack to travel into France and on to Italy, where he was stopped and shot dead.

Italy's interior minister said the man killed in a pre-dawn shootout with police in a suburb of the northern city of Milan was "without a shadow of a doubt" Anis Amri, 24, a Tunisian suspected of driving the truck that smashed through the market on Monday, killing 12 people.
