Saudi doctor crashes car into Germany’s Christmas market kills two injures 68
Share on FacebookShare on X

On the evening of 21st of December, Germany witnessed a horrifying terrorist attack at the Christmas market in Magdeburg. A 50 year old Saudi man named Taleb A intentionally plowed his high speed car into the crowd who went for a Christmas holiday shopping. The car attack took the lives of two people which included a toddler and left more than 68 people severely injured. The authorities investigating the incident revealed that Taleb was driving a rented BMW equipped with explosives. As per authorities the motive behind the incident has not surfaced but speculations highlight a religiously motivated terror angle.

The incident took place around 7pm, when the Christmas market in the German city was teeming with holiday shoppers. The driver was arrested at the scene. Shocking videos circulating on social media showed a car driving at speed through a crowd walking between two rows of market stalls. People can be seen knocked to the ground and running away.

The suspect has been identified as a 50-year-old national from Saudi Arabia. He moved to Germany in 2006 and had “a permanent residence permit”, according to the country’s interior minister Tamara Zieschang. He has been practising medicine in Bernburg, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of Magdeburg. “As things stand, he is a lone perpetrator, so that as far as we know, there is no further danger to the city,” Saxony-Anhalt’s governor, Reiner Haseloff, told reporters, according to AP.

According to reports, Taleb A is a psychiatrist and psychotherapist who has lived in Germany since 2006, receiving refugee status a decade later. He was born in Hofuf, Saudi Arabia and he had been residing in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, according to officials. He remains on Saudi Arabia’s wanted list for charges including terrorism and human trafficking, but Germany has refused his extradition.

According to journalist Tim Röhn, the attacker has been identified as Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen. He informed that Taleb openly posted threats on X (formerly Twitter) but the platform did not act against him “I seriously expect to die this year. Reason: I will bring justice at any cost. And German authorities are impeding all peaceful pathways to justice. If you are a concerned German citizen, you should demand justice now. If you are not concerned, then ok but don’t complain later,” a tweet by the attacker read.

World leaders have condemned the horrifying incident and expressed solidarity with the victims. Similarly, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry condemned the violence and extended support to the German population but refrained from addressing the suspect’s nationality.

This is probably the first of the incidents. A similar shocking incident occurred in 2016 in Berlin when an extremist drove a truck into a Christmas market, killing 13 people and injuring 56 others. 

German police officials have categorically stated that Taleb was a lone attacker and therefore there is no more threat to public safety after his arrest. As investigations into the Magdeburg tragedy continue, authorities are working to determine whether the suspect’s background or affiliations influenced his actions.
