MAGDEBURG, GERMANY – DECEMBER 20, 2024 Horrific tragedy has shaken not only Germany but the entire world. A driver deliberately plowed into a crowd of visitors at the Christmas market, causing the death of five people, including a nine-year-old boy, and injuring over 200. Among the injured, 41 remain in critical condition.
The perpetrator of this heinous act has been identified as 50-year-old Saudi Arabian doctor Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, who had been living in Germany since 2006.
