German Police Say Nine-year-old among Five People Killed in Christmas Market Attack | BBC News

Dec 21, 2024 | A nine-year-old-child is among those who were killed when a car drove into crowds at a Christmas market in Germany, officials say.

Four adults were killed and 200 people were injured when the suspect entered the market through an entrance reserved for ambulances and other emergency vehicles.

The BBC understands that the suspect in the Magdeburg attack is a man called Taleb al-Abdulmohsen.

While the motive is still unclear, prosecutors say it's linked to "dissatisfaction with the treatment of refugees from Saudi Arabia in Germany".
