Saudi Arabia Condemns Magdeburg Christmas Market Attack, 11 Dead, 200 Injured; Warned Germany About Attacker Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen
Dec 21, 2024, 01:55 PM
Saudi Arabia has condemned the attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which resulted in the deaths of 11 individuals and injuries to over 200. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing condolences to the victims and their families. Reports indicate that Saudi Arabia had previously warned German authorities about the attacker, Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, who had posted extremist views online. According to sources, Saudi Arabia sent three warnings to Germany regarding the suspect's dangerous intentions, but these were reportedly ignored by German officials. A Saudi national had also alerted German police months prior to the incident, indicating that the attacker was planning to run people over with his vehicle. The attack has raised questions about the effectiveness of Germany's security measures and its response to international warnings.
