Five people killed after man drives car into Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany | BBC News



Five people, including a child, have been killed after a car drove into crowds at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg.

The suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, holds “Islamophobic” views, according to Germany’s interior minister. However, the motive behind the attack is still unclear.

The head of Germany’s police union says security at events in Germany “must be intensified” with more police, barriers and surveillance cameras.

The BBC’s Anna Foster is in Madgeburg talking to locals about the effect the attack has had on the city.

  1. This case and hundreds of other's are proof of Islams truth, Saudi warned Germany how radical this guy is years ago Germany didnt listen.

    Because Sharia takes care of this businesses very early with harsh punishment its the reason he ran to Germany.

    It doesnt matter if he was a muslim or far right this doesnt happen in a stable muslim society.

  4. Many prayers for now and the future for peace in your land and our Lord will bless all of the victims with comfort and healing and fellowship with God's people reaching out to these victims. Only our Lord knows exactly why this has happened and I pray also for your police and first responders to deal with these horrific accounts and to have utmost discernment in dealing with all that has happened. I pray mental and physical scars are healed and the doctors hands are touched by Jesus in fixing the harmed, we send our love during this Lord's season from Ohio, North America.
