A Saudi-born doctor drove a car into a crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five people and injuring hundreds. The attack happened on Friday evening. Authorities revealed Saudi Arabia had warned Germany about the man three times before. He was arrested at the scene and is suspected of murder. Investigators are unsure of his motive but believe frustration over refugee policies may be involved. Witnesses said the car sped 400 metres through the market, leaving destruction and chaos. Germany’s Chancellor Scholz and local leaders called the event a tragic loss. The investigation is ongoing.
