Saudi Asylum Seeker Accused of Deadly Christmas Market Attack in Germany

A Saudi Arabian national and doctor, granted asylum in Germany in 2016, is accused of driving an SUV through an outdoor Christmas marketplace Friday evening. Information continues to come to light showing that the attack, which killed five people and injured over 200 more, was the culmination of over a decade of the suspect making concerning and often explicitly threatening statements.

Another translated post from August says, “I assure you that if Germany wants a war, we will fight it. If Germany wants to kill us, we will slaughter them, die, or go to prison with pride.” The suspect’s history of concerning and often explicitly threatening statements extends back to 2013, according to a report from the Abdulmohsen allegedly threatened to carry out a terrorist attack in 2013 after getting into a disagreement with a medical association over the paperwork necessary to begin practicing psychiatry in Germany. “Did you see what happened in Boston?” Abdulmohsen allegedly told the association in a phone call, referencing the then-recent Boston bombing attack. “Something similar will happen here too.” An investigation was carried out but found no evidence of a plan to commit an attack. He was allegedly fined €900 over the incident, according to the Authorities in Mecklenburg, the German state in which Abdulmohsen lived, also allegedly tipped off federal authorities about him making threats of a concerning nature
