    Car ploughs into German Christmas market in deadly holiday season attack

    A car ploughed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, killing at least two people and injuring at least 60 others in what authorities called a deliberate attack.

    The driver was arrested at the scene shortly after the car barreled into the market at around 7 p.m., when it was teeming with holiday shoppers looking forward to the weekend.

    Verified bystander footage distributed by the German news agency dpa showed the suspect surrender. He stood in a sidewalk in the middle of the road and put his hands up before lying down and waiting for armed officers to take him into custody.

    The two people confirmed dead were an adult and a toddler, but officials said additional deaths couldn't be ruled out because 15 people had been seriously injured.

    The violence shocked the city, bringing its mayor to the verge of tears and marring a festive event that's part of a centuries-old German tradition.

    The suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who moved to Germany in 2006, Tamara Zieschang, the interior minister for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, said at a news conference.

    He's a consultant for psychiatry and psycho-therapy, apparently.

    Strangely enough he's being reported as an ex-Muslim.

    He committed the crime in protest at how welcoming the Germans have been to Muslims.

    It seems the Germans were a bit slack. This has happened before and their Xmas markets are supposed to be safe from these kinds of evil acts.

    The nutter is an anti-Islam activist who is pro-Israel.

    I suppose now that is out, the whole thing will turn out to be an accident due to brake failure, or a health issue.

    Saudi Arabia warned German police over market suspect’s extreme views.



    The suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who moved to Germany in 2006, is an ex-Muslim who expressed support for the far-Right AfD

    German police had been repeatedly warned that a Saudi doctor who is suspected of ploughing a car into crowds at a Magdeburg Christmas market posed a terror threat.

    Saudi Arabia’s government sent four warnings to German authorities over the extreme views of Taleb al Abdulmohsen, a former Muslim who posted of his plans to do “something big” on social media.



    Abdulmohsen fled Saudi Arabia for Germany in 2006. He was granted asylum as he feared persecution over his rejection of Islam.

    German authorities said on Saturday that a potential motivation for the attack was his belief that Berlin was mistreating Saudi refugees.


    On social media, Abdulmohsen repeatedly condemned the “Islamisation” of Europe and expressed support for the far-Right AfD, alongside Elon Musk and conspiracist Alex Jones.

    Nancy Faeser, Germany’s interior minister, said the suspect was a known “Islamophobe”.

    According to the BBC, the Saudi government sent four “note verbale” warnings to Berlin over the doctor, who worked as a psychiatrist in the town of Bernburg just south of Magdeburg.

    Three were sent to police and one to the foreign ministry.

    In December 2023, police received a separate complaint after Abdulmohsen threatened on social media to make Germany “pay a price” for its alleged persecution of Saudi refugees.

    Local and federal police investigated but concluded that he posed “no specific danger,” the German newspaper Die Welt reported, citing security sources.

    Visiting the market on Saturday, Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, said it was a “terrible act... to injure and kill so many people with such brutality.”

    “Almost 40 are so seriously injured that we must be very worried about them,” he said.


    Prosecutor Horst Nopen said the suspect, who was detained at the scene, “has at least talked about the motive. And we have to clear up how much of that is true”.

    Abdulmohsen was granted asylum in Germany in 2016 despite having a criminal record over public order offences committed three years earlier.

    Abdulmohsen was well known in the Saudi diaspora for running a website helping refugees flee the Middle East.

    But he was considered a “pariah” because of his paranoid and aggrandising behaviour.

    Speaking on a US podcast just eight days before the attack, he said Germany was persecuting Saudi former Muslims and “actively trying to destroy their lives”.

    He said the persecution was being conducted covertly by a “Gestapo-like police unit” and was taking place across the globe.

    Taha Al-Hajji, legal director of the Berlin-based European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights, said: “He is a psychologically disturbed person with an exaggerated sense of self-importance.”


    Saudi Arabia said in a statement that it condemned the attack and expressed its “solidarity with the German people and the families of the victims.

    Jörg Lau, a well-known columnist for liberal newspaper Die Zeit, said that the attack was “an echo” of Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Breivik and was part of a “global threat” posed by far-Right terrorism.

    Alice Weidel, leader of the hard-Right AfD, said that “staggering failures by the authorities made the horror of Magdeburg possible”. The party has organised a protest in Magdeburg for Monday.

    Viktor Orban, the Right-wing prime minister of Hungary, told a press conference in Budapest “there is no doubt that there is a link” between the terror attack and immigration.

    I wonder what enquiries the German police made. The Saudis appear to have been very concerned about this evil nutter.

    That is why he was screaming "allah akbar" as he was arrested. Why are some of you so easily bamboozled?

    Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.

    In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.

    ^ you are the bamboozled one so easily fooled by some social media posts.

    Anti-Muslim groups have been spreading disinformation online in an attempt to blame the attack on Islam. One popular anti-Muslim X page used doctored video to falsely claim that Abdulmohsen yelled “Allahu akbar” after the attack, but video shows he actually said ‘Alles Klar’ in German in response to police commands.
    Washington, D.C., based CAIR also called on Elon Musk to stop sharing such disinformation and to explain why X (formerly Twitter) deleted social media history on the killer’s X page that showed his extensive, years-long hostility toward Islam and support for Germany’s Neo-Nazi inspired AfD Party, for which Musk has also expressed support.

    ^^Some idiots on here did the same thing with the right wing riots in the UK recently.

    Anything that fits their prejudice is their preferred version of the truth, usually supplied by X under 'liar in chief' Elon Musk.

    All of the german media and all of the traditional parties, including the green party, are now whining this is not a reason for new legislation. They all call for calm and not blame muslims or immigrants. Who does is a racist.

    And then they wonder why new extremist parties make huge gains in elections and consider prohibiting th AFD party.

    He has once again showed his total lack of critical thinking.
    He is the archetype of a dumbed down seppo, the type that among other things made Trump president and that not only once but twice..

    The dummies were really the Democrats and what they were offering. The Democrats lost the White House, the Senate, the House and the popular vote against a moron who was widely ranked as one of the worst presidents ever. I hope there are some useful lessons to be gained from reviewing what went wrong for the German authorities here. If they need more resources, give them.
