Saudi Psychiatrist Charged with 5 Counts of Murder After Driving into Magdeburg Christmas Market, Injuring 200
Dec 22, 2024, 01:04 PM
A 50-year-old Saudi Arabian psychiatrist, Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, has been charged with five counts of murder, multiple counts of attempted murder, and aggravated assault following a vehicular attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. The attack, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the deaths of five individuals, including a nine-year-old boy and four women aged 52, 45, 75, and 67. Over 200 people were injured, with approximately 40 in serious condition. Al-Abdulmohsen, who has resided in Germany since 2006, allegedly drove a rental car through the market, entering via an emergency exit route. The motive remains under investigation, with authorities exploring possible dissatisfaction with Germany's treatment of Saudi Arabian refugees as a factor. The incident has reignited debates on security and migration in Germany, especially with upcoming elections on February 23.
