German market attack suspect appears in court as authorities accused of security failures

A judge in Germany ordered the suspect in a deadly Christmas market ramming attack to be held in pre-trial detention following a late-night court appearance on Saturday as authorities face growing accusations they could have done more to prevent it. Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is accused of ramming a car into a busy market in the city of Magdeburg, killing five people and injuring more than 200.

But Magdeburg police chief Tom-Oliver Langhans said Saturday that the attacker was able to gain access to the market using emergency exit points, usually reserved for ambulances and other emergency vehicles. At the same conference, city official Ronni Krug insisted the security concept for the Magdeburg Christmas market was “constantly being revised and modified.” Krug continued, “How this case could come about must first be investigated by the police. I will not indulge in speculation.
