21.12.2024The Day Saudi Doctor Zigzagged Through Christmas Market
The morning began with reports of a Christmas market attack in Magdeburg by Taleb Abdulmohsen, a Saudi psychiatrist who arrived in Germany in 2006. The death toll rose throughout the day from 2 to 5, with injured counts fluctuating between 60 and 200.

By midday, details emerged of Abdulmohsen's profile as an anti-Islam activist with AfD connections, who tested positive for drugs. Saudi authorities had warned German officials about him four times. His 400-meter zigzag path through the market specifically targeted children's areas.

The Italian Interior Ministry responded by ordering increased security at Christmas markets nationwide, with particular focus on Jubilee preparations. Mattarella expressed solidarity with Germany.

This attack occurred against the backdrop of Salvini's Open Arms acquittal from the previous day, which continued generating political discourse about judicial reform.
