IfHe wrote: “Is there a path to justice without slaughtering German citizens indiscriminately?” It was unclear if police acted upon the warnings.
In 2023 al-Abdulmohsen asked 48,000 followers on X: “Would you blame me if I randomly killed 20 Germans because of what Germany is doing against the Saudi opposition?”Saudi doctor who killed 4 in Xmas market attack is 'anti-islam activist' Officials said it was not clear if Friday’s attack was terror-related and the motive may have been “a disgruntlement with the way Saudi refugees are treated”.
