MAGDEBURG, Germany — A car plowed 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 suspect was an attack.
Fifteen of the injured were were hurt very seriously, according to government officials and the city government’s website. The suspected attack in Magdeburg, a city of about 240,000 people west of Berlin that Saxony-Anhalt's capital, came eight years after an Islamic extremist drove a truck into crowded Christmas market in Berlin, killing 13 people and injuring many others. The attacker was killed days later in a shootout in Italy.
Migration has been a major source of tension in German politics since large numbers of refugees and other migrants arrived in 2015. The government has been under pressure to reduce irregular migration, and has taken measures including imposing border checks.
