Summary

A Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five people, including a child, and injuring over 200.

The 50-year-old suspect, who had lived in Germany for nearly two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right politics. Authorities believe he acted alone.

The attack shocked Germany, prompting other towns to cancel Christmas markets and increasing security measures nationwide.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz mourned the victims, and a memorial service is planned. Saudi Arabia condemned the attack, calling it a tragedy.
