GERMANY,CHRISTMAS MARKET,ATTACK

A Saudi-born doctor who carried out a deadly attack at a German Christmas market had been on the radar of German authorities for over a decade, according to a secret file.

The Saudi-born doctor behind the deadly attack at a German Christmas market had been tracked by police for over a decade, a secret file has revealed. It has now emerged that Dr. Taleb al-Abdulmohsen had been on the radar of German authorities for 11 years, with numerous warnings ignored, a file seen by outlet. The first major alarm was raised in 2013 when al-Abdulmohsen threatened to attack a medical association over a dispute about his qualifications.

His menacing remarks, made just days after the Boston Marathon bombing, alluded to carrying out a similar atrocity. In 2015, he raged against his earlier fine, calling German judges “racist” and threatening to acquire a gun. By 2023, German authorities conducted a risk assessment on him but concluded he posed “no specific danger.” Even warnings from Saudi intelligence about his threats on social media — where he hinted at “slaughtering German citizens” — were ignored. Al-Abdulmohsen’s motives remain as complicated and confusing as his identity. He was a vocal critic of Islam and had supported far-right ideologies online, including Germany’s anti-immigrant AfD party. But at the same time, he also championed Saudi dissidents and helped women flee oppressive regimes in the Gulf. He even used bizarre AI-generated videos to amplify his grievances, likening himself to far-right activists like Tommy Robinson. Far-right groups have seized on the tragedy to push their anti-immigrant agenda, with protests erupting in several cities. “Germany didn’t have these kinds of attacks before Merkel opened the borders in 2015,” one protester claimed, a sentiment echoed by hard-right politicians across have used the attack to call for stricter immigration controls, with Le Pen describing it as an “act of war against our civilisation.
