German Authorities Probe Magdeburg Christmas Market Attack by Saudi Psychiatrist, 5 Dead, 200 Injured
Dec 30, 2024, 06:10 PM
German authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the deadly car attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market on December 20, which resulted in five deaths and over 200 injuries. The suspect, identified as 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist Taleb A., was arrested at the scene. German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has stated that the suspect showed 'striking signs of a pathological psyche,' although the motive for the attack remains unclear. The attack has led to scrutiny over potential security lapses, with the Bundestag's interior committee questioning officials on the matter. Faeser emphasized that despite the suspect's history of anti-Islam sentiments and thousands of social media posts, the incident could not have been prevented. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities promising to examine every detail.
