A Saudi refugee is headed to trial in Germany for allegedly plowing a car through a crowd at a busy Christmas market in Magdeburg in 2024, leaving six people dead.
The 51-year-old suspect, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, appeared in court on Monday, seated behind bulletproof glass, faced with six murder charges, as well as attempted murder on roughly 300 market attendees, and for perpetrating a “treacherous attack.”
Al-Abdulmohsen, a critic of Islam, has had a history of expressing radical views of varying kinds. The alleged attacker spewed anti-German and anti-Muslim rhetoric on social media for years and urged fellow asylum seekers to avoid living in the country.
