Thousands attend far-right rally after the anti-Islam activist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, is remanded in custody

Magdeburg's fire fighters pay their respects at a makeshift memorial outside the Johannes Church, near the site of the attack.Magdeburg's fire fighters pay their respects at a makeshift memorial outside the Johannes Church, near the site of the attack.

The government was facing growing questions about whether more could have been done to prevent the attack, which injured 205 people, including about 40 in a critical condition with doctors in local hospitals now fighting to save their lives. While helping women flee Gulf countries and complaining in the past that Germany was not doing enough to help them, he had also accused German authorities of failing to do enough to combat what he referred to as the “Islamification of Europe”.

This year he was investigated in Berlin for the “misuse of emergency calls” after arguing with officers at a police station, local media reported. He had been on sick leave since late October from his workplace, an addiction clinic near Magdeburg. Die Welt newspaper reported, also citing security sources, that German state and federal police had carried out a “risk assessment” of al-Abdulmohsen last year but concluded that he posed “no specific danger”.

The mass-circulation daily Bild demanded to know: “Why did our police and intelligence services do nothing, even though they had the Saudi on their radar? … And why were the tips from Saudi Arabia apparently ignored?”
