A Saudi doctor, Taleb A, was arrested after driving his car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing two and injuring 68. The 50-year-old has lived in Germany since 2006, gaining asylum and permanent residency. Authorities believe it was a terror attack, and Taleb acted alone. He is known to be an ex-Muslim and a critic of Islam, supporting far-right politics. Taleb was also wanted in Saudi Arabia on charges of terrorism and human trafficking. The cause of the attack is still under investigation. German officials condemned the violence and expressed solidarity with the victims.
