What we know about the deadly Christmas market attack in Germany
SUMMARY: A Saudi doctor drove his car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing four women, aged 45 to 75, and a 9-year-old boy, injuring 200 others. Witnesses initially mistook the incident for fireworks before realizing the vehicle was accelerating through the market. The suspect, 50-year-old Taleb A., faces charges of murder and attempted murder. He has lived in Germany since 2006 and expressed anti-Islam sentiments online. Investigators are examining his motives, potentially linked to dissatisfaction with Saudi refugee treatment. The attack has heightened security concerns across Germany, leading to canceled Christmas markets in other towns.
