Background

Magdeburg is the capital of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The city holds an annual Christmas market near the city hall and a large shopping center.[8]

Christmas markets have previously been _targeted by vehicle-ramming attacks, such as the 2016 attack in Berlin.[9] That attack, perpetrated by the Islamic State, killed 12 people and injured 56 others.[10] Minister of the interior and community Nancy Faeser said in November 2024 that there were no "concrete" threats to Christmas markets,[11][12] but that it was wise to maintain vigilance.[12]

Two weeks prior to the attack, an Iraqi man was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack against a Christmas market in Augsburg, Bavaria.[13]

Attack and casualties

At 19:04 CET on 20 December 2024, a driver drove a black BMW rental car,[10] reportedly rented shortly before the attack,[13] into a crowd at high speed at a Christmas market in Magdeburg.[14][15] The car traveled at least 400 metres (1,300 ft), according to police.[16] The driver of the vehicle was arrested at the Allee-Center tram stop.[17]

People who were uninjured helped provide first aid to the injured until emergency services arrived. Others described a chaotic aftermath with "blood on the floor" and people wrapped in emergency blankets to keep them warm.[18] A shopkeeper, who was also a bystander, described the scenes as "reminiscent of a war".[12]

A spokesperson from the Saxony-Anhalt state government said it was "probably an attack".[19] A luggage item was discovered in the passenger seat of the vehicle[13] and police cordoned off the area following suspicions that an explosive device was inside the vehicle.[20] By midnight, an investigation had determined that there were no explosives in the car.[21]

Five people were killed, including four women aged between 45 and 75 and nine-year-old André Gleissner.[22][23][24] More than 205 people were injured, including 41 in critical condition.[25][26] On 23 December, the number of injured was revised by authorities to 235.[27]

Suspect

Main article: Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen

According to information from the Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff (CDU), the Saxony-Anhalt Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang [de] (CDU), as well as Die Welt and Der Spiegel, the suspect was named as "Taleb A." due to German privacy laws.[5] Details released by authorities led foreign outlets to identify Taleb A. as Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia who lives in Bernburg and worked as a psychologist and psychiatrist in a correctional facility in a clinic in Bernburg. He was described by German authorities as "Islamophobic".[29] The suspect immigrated to Germany in March 2006, was recognized as a refugee in July 2016 and has a settlement permit and thus a residence permit.[30][31]

According to India Today, Abdulmohsen is wanted by Saudi Arabia on charges related to terrorism and human trafficking, specifically allegations of facilitating the trafficking of individuals from Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf states to the European Union. Despite Saudi Arabia's extradition request, Germany granted him political asylum in 2016, citing concerns over his safety and rights if he were returned to Saudi Arabia. The German government refused to extradite him, citing a lack of due process in Saudi Arabia.[32] The Saudi Arabian government warned German security authorities about Abdulmohsen three times in between November 2023 and September 2024.[33][34][35] Saudi officials said he was dangerous and a potential threat to Saudi diplomats. Germany dismissed the warning, viewing it as _targeting against a dissident who said he had abandoned Islam, an act known as apostasy which is a capital crime in Saudi Arabia.[34]

In the media, Abdulmohsen has been described as an ex-Muslim opposed to Islam and Muslims.[36] That same year, Der Spiegel reported that he used his web forum wearesaudis.net and Twitter to help other Saudis escape to Germany.[37] Taleb's X account was focused on anti-Islam themes and criticism of Islam while he congratulated Muslims who left the religion. He also described himself as a former Muslim and criticized German authorities for failing to combat the "Islamism of Europe" and supported the AfD. He was described as an activist who helped Saudi women flee their homeland and he appeared to be focused on his theory that "German authorities have been _targeting Saudi asylum seekers."[29][5]

Abdulmohsen appeared on the BBC showcasing his website intended to help asylum-seeking apostates, "especially from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region".[38] Abdulmohsen shared pro-Israel content on the Internet.[39][40] In a 2019 interview with The Jerusalem Post, he stated that he spent 10 to 16 hours per day assisting apostates from the Middle East to claim asylum in Western countries.[34] In a 45-minute video interview that appeared on an anti-Islam United States blog of the RAIR Foundation[41] eight days before the attack, Abdulmohsen stated that the German state is conducting a "covert secret operation" to "hunt and destroy the lives" of Saudi ex-Muslims around the world, but at the same time Syrian jihadists are receiving asylum in Germany.[41][42] In the same interview, he describes himself as leftist.[41] On Twitter, Abdulmohsen posted a machine gun with a US-flag as a profile picture and conspiracy theories such as "Germany wants to Islamize Europe."[36][43] Abdulmohsen also shared similar right-wing ideological content, including content from German politician Alice Weidel (AfD),[44] Alex Jones and Elon Musk.[42]

In May 2024, Abdulmohsen wrote, "I seriously expect to die this year. The reason: I will ensure justice at any cost. And the German authorities are hindering any peaceful path to justice." A few minutes before the attack, he posted more videos. In one of them, Abdulmohsen said, "The police themselves are the criminals. In this case, I hold the German nation, I hold the German citizens responsible for what is in store for me."[45] In another video before the attack, Abdulmohsen said, "Another reason why I hold German citizens responsible for the persecution I experience in Germany is the story of a USB stick stolen from my mailbox."[46]

According to information from several public broadcasters and private media in Germany, people reported Abdulmohsen to the police several times because of threats of violence. According to public broadcaster ARD, Abdulmohsen was sentenced in 2013 by the Rostock District Court to 90 daily rates of ten euros each for threatening criminal offenses. The Federal Intelligence Service (BND) received a report from Saudi Arabia that Abdulmohsen had announced something "big" in Germany as early as 2023. The responsible state authorities are said to have followed up on this tip.[47][5] German journalist Tim Rohn from Welt also shared on X that in September 2023, a Saudi woman who had been in contact with Abdulmohsen via the Internet attempted to warn the police in Berlin that Abdulmohsen wanted to kill 20 Germans. She erroneously sent her email to U.S. police in Berlin, New Jersey and it was unclear what happened to the tip.[48][5]

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that the authorities can confirm that the suspected perpetrator was "evidently Islamophobic".[49]

Aftermath

 
Several Christmas markets in Germany increased security afterwards, such as in Bavaria.

Hundreds of people created a makeshift memorial with flowers, lit candles and toys, at the nearby St. John's Church.[25] Magdeburg police urged citizens to stay home.[50] Erfurt's Christmas market was cleared,[51] while Halle's remained open with additional security.[52] The New York City Police Department in the United States also increased security at Christmas markets in response to the attack.[53]

A memorial service for dead victims will take place in Magdeburg Cathedral. Interior minister Nancy Faeser ordered flags lowered to half-staff at all federal buildings across the country.[54] The Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) called on all sides of the top two divisions of German football to wear black armbands in memory of the victims and have minutes of silence in several Bundesliga games.[25]

Publications such as Politico and The Wall Street Journal wrote that the attack could reinvigorate discussions of immigration in Germany ahead of the federal election in 2025.[55][56]

Nancy Faeser and the heads of Germany's domestic and foreign intelligence services will anwser questions at parliamentary committee hearings into the attack on December 30, a senior lawmaker said.[57]

Misinformation

According to, Tagesschau, following the attack, various domestic and foreign actors started spreading false information on social media. They said that before the first official statement by authorities was made, Austrian far-right activist Martin Sellner said that the alleged perpetrator was Syrian. They said that other sources said that the perpetrator had come to Germany as a Syrian refugee during the 2015 European migrant crisis. They said that Sellner and other activists greatly exaggerated the number of victims and said that there were 5 perpetrators of the attack instead of 1 and that 11 people were killed instead of 2. They said that sources distributed video footage of Syrians celebrating the overthrow of the Assad regime in Germany and said that they showed Syrians celebrating the attack. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was accused of saying a quote: "one should not expose the person who committed the crime ... but listen to the reasons calmly and patiently"; and tagesschau said it was later established that he never said it. They said Anti-Israel activists spread false reports that the attack was a false flag operation carried out by the Mossad to boost Western support for Israel. They also said Turkish nationalists claimed that Kurdish militias carried out the attack in retaliation for Germany's alleged support for Turkey in the Syrian civil war.[58]

According to Deutsche Welle, on social media, various accounts said that suspect behind the attack was shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he was being arrested by police. Deutsche Welle say that their analysis of the video recording of the suspect's arrest, together with an Arabic-speaking journalist proved that these words are not heard anywhere in the video.[59] After the suspect's anti-Islam activism and AfD support had been revealed, Musk and other X users claimed the suspect's activism was a scam to avoid being deported.[60]

Protests

Anti-migration protests were organized by the far-right at the site of the attack. Protesters carried signs calling for remigration anf shouted slogans such as "Wir sind das Volk" (German: "We are the People"). Participating groups included Die Heimat and its youth organization, the Young Nationalists.[61][62][63][64]

Investigation

According to Germany's head of domestic security agency BKA, Holger Münch, the authorities have yet to determine a motive. The federal prosecutors would take up the case if the killings were deemed to be acts of terrorism caused by an attacker motivated by political or religious convictions.[65] Münch stated that prior to the attack, police received a tip from Saudi Arabian authorities about a tweet in which Taleb threatened Germany would pay a "price" for its treatment of Saudi refugees. The police in Saxony-Anhalt, the capital of Magdeburg started looking into it, and "proceedings were initiated" according to Münch, but he also added that the threats were too unspecific. Münch stated that the actions of the suspect appeared to follow "a completely atypical pattern".[40][66]

On Saturday evening, the suspect behind the attack was brought before a judge, who behind closed doors ordered him to be kept in custody on five counts of murder, multiple counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. He may be facing possible indictment.[57][67]

The suspect's potential motivations are being investigated by police, including whether or not they were influenced by discontent with Germany's treatment of Saudi refugees, according to Horst Walter Nopens, head of the local public prosecutor's office.[68][69] Investigators found that he had tried to build connections to far-right organisations in Germany and the UK, including Germany's AfD party as well as Tommy Robinson, the founder of the far-right English Defence League.[70]

Responses

 
Flowers in memory of the victims at the St. John's Church

Domestic

Many political figures in Germany expressed their condolences after the attack, including Saxony-Anhalt Minister-President Reiner Haseloff,[10] Chancellor Olaf Scholz,[10][71] President Frank-Walter Steinmeier,[72][14] and party leaders Friedrich Merz, of CDU,[73] and Alice Weidel, of AfD.[19] Haseloff and Scholz also visited the site of the attack, along with interior minister Nancy Faeser.[10][12] In addition, Haseloff was also one of the first to provide the detail that the attacker acted alone.[74]

German far right party, AfD called for major rallies across Germany after the attack.[75] The AfD's parliamentary leader, Bernd Baumann, demanded that Chancellor Scholz call a special session in the Bundestag on what he described as a "desolate" security situation.[76]

Sahra Wagenknecht, the leader of the BSW party, stated that Nancy Faeser, the interior minister, needs to formally explain "why so many tips and warnings were ignored beforehand".[76]

The German-based Atheist Refugee Relief said that the alleged perpetrator was not a member of the organization and said that he made many false "accusations and claims” against them and their former board members. It also distanced itself from Abdulmohsen "in the strongest terms" and added that its members filed a criminal complaint against him following "the most foul slander and verbal attacks" in 2019.[29]

German analyst Peter Neumann expressed surprise towards the unique profile of the perpetrator as a "50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim" who lived in East Germany, supported the AfD and "want[ed] to punish Germany for its tolerance towards Islamists."[29]

International

Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry condemned the attack and expressed its solidarity with the German people and its support of the victims.[77] They had also requested his extradition.[78]

Condolences were expressed by the leaders of Denmark,[79] the United Kingdom,[80] France,[81] Italy,[82] Hungary,[83] Spain,[84] Turkey,[85] Iran,[86] Poland,[87] the Netherlands,[88] and India,[89] as well as by the Secretary-General of NATO, Mark Rutte.[90] European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen also sent condolences to Germany.[54][91] Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, vowed to "fight back" against open border policies after stating that there is a connection behind immigration to western Europe and terrorist attacks.[92] Orbán also accused EU leaders of wanting "Magdeburg to happen to Hungary too.”[92]

In the US, Vice President-elect JD Vance and Elon Musk accused media outlets of downplaying the driver's role in the car attack, with Vance singling out the Associated Press's headline "A car has driven into a group of people at a Christmas market in Germany".[93] On the day of the attack, Musk had stated that, "Only the AfD can save Germany".[94] Abdulmohsen, an AfD supporter, had previously praised and used an AI avatar of Musk to criticize the German government.[95] After the suspect's anti-Islam activism had been revealed, Musk baselessly claimed that the suspect's "atheism" was a "scam to avoid extradition".[60]
