Summary
A car ploughed into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing at least two people, including a child, and injuring 68 others, 15 critically, in what authorities are treating as a terror attack.
The suspect, identified as Taleb A., a Saudi Arabian psychiatrist living in Germany since 2006, was arrested at the scene. He allegedly drove a rented BMW through the crowded market, targeting families and children.
The attack raised concerns about security at Christmas markets despite preventive measures like bollards. German and French leaders expressed shock and condolences.
This incident follows heightened vigilance since a 2016 truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market that killed 13 people.

Since the article does not mention it at all, the person in question was following and sharing racist rhetoric online - posts from AfD and Elon Musk, for example. He feared an “Islamization” of Germany and seemed to be very angry about it.
It is an important observation to report on, especially because people would assume him to be a racial stereotype that he is not. It is also responsible to include the details given that so much about him has already been shared online.
He was also a Zionist. His Twitter account was saying how lucky some Syrians were to now be part of Israel.

He was also a psychotherapist
A lot of commenters are going to be really embarrassed after what they wrote.
Or, well, they should be, if they have any dignity or decency.
Or ever even hear the truth.
Well, I did reply to their comments.
"Man drives into crowd. We are unable to confirm if he’s Muslim. (But he does look like it, doesn’t he?).
Hmm
I think Germany is having issues.
[The killer in this article] fears an Islamization of Germany and shares content from right-wing ideological accounts, including AfD leader Alice Weidel and X owner Elon Musk.

You’re right, Taleb A. from Saudi Arabia sounds like your regular run of the mill European cultural christian…
I just think it’s neat that when they’re brown they’re consistently matched with their religion, but only certain people will associate white nationalists and Nazis with Christianity.
The West absolutely has a fascist white Christian terrorist problem, that doesn’t change anything I said
The same reporters that are happy to label this guy as Muslim absolutely do not call crusaders what they are.
Because Nazis don’t do this shit in the name of religion, that’s where the difference lies
Which religion’s name was this done in?
It’s a yearly tradition now, yeah?
