CHRISTMAS MARKET,ATTACK,GERMANY

A car ploughed into a crowd at the Magdeburg Christmas Market in Germany, killing at least five people and injuring 200. Authorities have detained a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian man suspected of carrying out the attack.

The organizers of the Magdeburg Christmas Market have released a touching statement in the wake of the harrowing incident that occurred earlier this week. A tragic event unfolded when a car careered into a crowd at the market located in Magdeburg, Germany, resulting in the death of at least five individuals, including a young child. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has reported that up to 40 of the 200 people hurt remain in a critical condition.

Matthias Schuppe, a spokesperson for the regional government, alongside city representative Michael Reif, have expressed their belief that the act was intentional, though it remains unclear whether it is connected to terrorism. Authorities have detained a 50 year old man from Saudi Arabia, identified as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, in connection with the incident. The police are currently investigating a potential explosive device discovered within the black BMW that was used in the attack. Recent tweets allegedly from the suspect, who is reportedly a psychologist, spoke of 'slaughtering German citizens indiscriminately'. A sombre message has been posted on the market's official website, stating: 'We are in deep mourning, and our hearts and thoughts are with the victims, relatives and helpers. The Christmas market and the world of lights are over.' Saxony-Anhalt regional governor Reiner Haseloff expressed his grief, stating: 'This is a terrible event, particularly now in the days before Christmas.' In a show of national solidarity, Chancellor Olaf Scholz shared his sentiments, saying: 'My thoughts are with the victims and their families. We stand by their side and by the side of the people of Magdeburg. My thanks go to the dedicated rescue workers in these anxious hours
