Suspect in German Christmas Market Attack Charged with Five Counts of Murder

A 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, identified as Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, appeared before a German judge in Magdeburg on Saturday. A local state prosecutor stated during a press conference that the suspect's first name is 'Taleb,' but police have not publicly named him otherwise. A judge ordered pretrial detention for five counts of murder and multiple counts of both attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm.

The police statement listed the ages and gender of the five people killed, saying they were a 9-year-old boy and four women, aged 45, 52, 67, and 75. At least 200 more people were injured on Friday when a car plowed into festive market-goers in the eastern German city of Magdenburg, around 75 miles west of the capital Berlin, according to Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt Reiner Haseloff. At least 41 of those injured in the attack are in serious condition, according to police. Their lives are still thought to be in danger, according to Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The suspect, who has lived in Germany since 2006, was arrested. A rental car was used in the attack. The first emergency call came in at 7:02 p.m. local time, and the driver was stopped within three minutes of the attack, according to a police official. Police believe the suspect entered via the space left open for emergency vehicles to access the area. Police said they believe the suspect acted alone. The prosecutor said they are still clarifying a motive behind the attack. Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters on Saturday that it was 'clear to see' that the suspect had 'Islamophobic views.' Police said the suspect has undergone physical and psychological exams, but police do not yet have the results
