Belgium and France remain on high alert despite a potential terror suspect being shot dead by police.
The Tunisian gunman —believed to have shot dead two Swedish football fans yesterday— has been killed by authorities in a Brussels cafe.
The 45-year-old identified himself as a member of Islamic State and claimed responsibility.
Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking that the gunman had applied for asylum in Belgium in 2019 but first arrived on Italian island of Lampedusa in 2011, making his way to Europe from Italy.
She said that the Italian Government is stepping up controls over concerns about similar attacks.
