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.

    Yup, I checked the comments on some posts and they were blaming islam. Once they knew that he was also anti-islam, they went mask off and started blaming Arabs and promoting deportation.

    We can’t make these clowns happy, they’ll always just blame us.
