Germany’s Magdeburg Christmas market Car Attack: Two Murdered, at least 68 Injured
We used to keep track of vehicle attacks around the world, partly as a comparison to other mass murders around the world. We might have to update that list. On December 20th, 2024, another attack occurred at a Christmas celebration in Magdeburg, Germany. Two people were murdered, and at least 68 were injured. The suspect is identified as a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia who has been in the country since 2006. Reports indicate that the perpetrator was a fugitive from Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, despite requests from the Saudi government, the German government refused to extradite him.
. . . At least two people were killed in the shocking incident, officials confirmed. One of those killed was a young child.
At least 68 people are believed to have been injured so far and 15 of those were hurt very seriously, according to government officials and the city government’s website.
It said 37 people had injuries of medium severity and 16 were lightly injured.
Haseloff could not rule out further deaths due to the number of people severely injured. . . .
