The death toll in the attack on a busy Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has risen to five.

, AP IMAGES)MAGDEBURG, Germany — Germans on Saturday mourned both the victims and their shaken sense of security after a Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers, killing at least five people, including a small child, and injuring at least 200 others.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that nearly 40 of them “are so seriously injured that we must be very worried about them.” Describing himself as a former Muslim, the suspect shared dozens of tweets and retweets daily focusing on anti-Islam themes, criticizing the religion and congratulating Muslims who left the faith.

Prominent German terrorism expert Peter Neumann said he had yet to come across a suspect in an act of mass violence with that profile. Germany has suffered a string of extremist attacks in recent years, including a knife attack that killed three people and wounded eight at a festival in the western city of Solingen in August.
