Nine-year-old André Gleissner was killed along with four women, and 200 people were injured when a man drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers in thecity of Magdeburg — an attack that has left Germans mourning the victims and with a shaken sense of security.
The woman recalled seeing the car bursting out of the market and turning right onto Ernst-Reuter-Allee street and then coming to a standstill at a tram stop where the suspect was arrested. A couple embrace each other in front of flowers and candles laid down at the Johannis church close to the Christmas market, where a car drove into a crowd on Friday evening, in Magdeburg, Germany, on Sunday, December 22, 2024 Prosecutors said the suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor, is under investigation on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and bodily harm. In a closed-door hearing on Saturday evening, a judge ordered that he be kept in custody pending a possible indictment.
Intelligence agencies say that increasingly they are seeing attackers with a confusing mix of beliefs and motivations. The head of Britain's domestic intelligence agency MI5, Ken McCallum, said in October that "straightforward labels like 'Islamist terrorism' or 'extreme right-wing' don't fully reflect the dizzying range of beliefs and ideologies we see."
Münch said the suspect "published a huge number of posts on the internet," was in contact with various authorities and "made insults and even threats" — but was not known to be violent.
