The Saudis had warned Germany several times before the bloody attack.

In the German city of Magdeburg, a person drove their car into a crowd at a Christmas market, resulting in the deaths of 5 people and injuries to over 200 others. Following the incident, it was determined that the attacker, who was taken into custody, is Talib A., a doctor who has been living in Bernburg, Germany, since 2006 and works in psychotherapy at a clinic.

RIYADH WARNED GERMANY

A striking detail about the attacker has emerged. According to reports in the German press, it was learned that Saudi Arabia had warned German authorities about the attacker three times. While the specifics of the warnings are unknown, a source speaking to Reuters stated that Germany was alerted about the attacker after he posted extremist views on social media that threatened peace and security.

ATTACKER TURNED OUT TO BE AN ISLAMOPHOBE

Information shared by the German press about the attacker revealed that the 50-year-old perpetrator had been living in Germany since 2006 and held permanent residency in the country. He worked as a physician in the city of Bernburg and had made posts on social media indicating that he was "concerned about the rise of Islam in Germany."

Reports indicated that the attacker drove a BMW vehicle into the crowd for at least 400 meters at the Christmas market. The perpetrator was taken into custody following the attack. After the incident, the Christmas market was closed, and people were asked to leave the city center. The attack occurred at the Christmas market set up next to the Magdeburg City Hall near the Elbe River.
