According to officials, a Saudi doctor who was suspected of being responsible for Germany’s scar-ramming attack on the Christmas industry was an atheist who held strong anti-Islam beliefs and was upset about the country’s immigration and asylum policies.
Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, who appeared in a number of internet conversations in 2019 and reported on his activism helping Saudi Arabians who had turned their backs on Islam, was identified by numerous German news sources as the suspect.
The suspect has resided in Germany for nearly 20 years, working as a physician in Bernburg, situated about 40 miles from Magdeburg.
In an appointment in July 2019, Taleb spoke about founding the app wearesaudis. after he claimed hospital in Germany and became an agnostic.
He is a fierce critic of Islam in his previous interviews, telling Germany’s FAZ paper:” There is no great Islam”.
Interior secretary Nancy Fraser said he held” Islamophobic” opinions. Additionally, a prosecutor claimed that” the backdrop to the murder… could have been disgruntlement with the means Saudi Arabian migrants are treated in Germany.”
According to Taha Al-Hajji of the Berlin-based German Saudi Organization for Human Rights, Abdulmohsen was” a psychologically disturbed man with an inflated sense of self-importance.”
However, the death toll in the invasion in Germany’s Magdeburg has risen to five persons, and more than 200 have been severely wounded, as per Saxony-Anhalt’s Governor Reiner Haseloff.
A dark BMW was seen racing directly through the crowd, scattering body among the colorful stalls selling traditional handicrafts, snacks, and spiced wine, surveillance video footage of the assault showed.
” As things stand, he is a lone culprit, but that as far as we know there is no further harm to the city. One mortal life too many people have been lost to this assault, according to Saxony-Anhalt government Reiner Haseloff, who described the tragedy as” a horrible tragedy.”
Germany has been hit by numerous fatal ideology problems, but evidence gathered by investigators and his previous website posts painted a different image of Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old physician of psychology.
A monument service is scheduled at the town temple that night on Saturday, with Chancellor Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser traveling to Magdeburg. Federal properties across the country were told to lower their colors to half-staff by Faeser.
