The suspect – a Saudi doctor – intentionally drove into a market teeming with holiday shoppers in what police are calling an attack.

At least five people have died and hundreds more are injured – some critically – after a man driving a black BMW plowed into a crowded Christmas market in East Germany Friday evening. He was detained on scene. The death toll rose from two to five and more than 200 people in total were injured, the state governor, Reiner Haseloff, told reporters. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that nearly 40 of them "are so seriously injured that we must be very worried about them.

Local media say he is 50-year-old Taleb A, a psychiatry and psychotherapy specialist who has lived in Germany since 2006 and practiced medicine in Bernburg, about 25 miles south of Magdeburg, officials said.Taleb’s X account describes him as a former Muslim. It is filled with tweets and retweets focusing on anti-Islam themes and criticism of the religion, while sharing congratulatory notes to Muslims who left the faith.
