AMOSLauf-Schock in Magdeburg: Warning signals ignored, 5 deaths!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - No Advent festival, but a nightmare in the middle of Magdeburg! With incredible brutality, Taleb plow al-abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor, over the Christmas market, left devastation, death and horror. The killing spree led to five dead and around 200 injuries - an inferno that could have been prevented! Weeks before, the man showed extreme behavioral problems: without being asked, he mobbed in a Cologne court meeting, attacked the judge angrily and ultimately had to be pulled out of the hall by security.

like apollo news had reported Al-Abdulmohsen must answer in court for defamation against secular refugee aid. As early as 2013, he threatened in the dispute with the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian Medical Association with attacks that were supposed to be received. However, the authorities found no specific indications of such an act during a search. Nevertheless, his radical trace lasted until the end of October 2024 when he recently worked in the intelligence enforcement in Bernburg.

search for traces and shock rigid

But who was this man really? On social media, he posed as a sharp-tongued opponent of Islam and Saudi Arabia, but also runs as a pioneer for women's rights from Saudi exile. Not a typical perpetrator profile, as Peter Neumann, terrorism expert at King’s College London, put it - rather Taleb A. does not fit in a well -known, ideological grid.

since 2006 Taleb A. has lived in Germany, became striking with threats to the authorities and finally found a job in the psychiatry sector in Bernburg, just 50 kilometers from Magdeburg. Colleagues also had distrust, called him "Dr. Google", since he supposedly always consulted the Internet on medical questions.

an atypical case that raises questions

The motif behind his terrible trip to murder remains a mystery. Holger Münch, BKA President, referred to “confused” statements by the perpetrator on the motive situation. A clear plan is not recognizable. Was it frustration with dealing with refugees? Or pure despair? Rarely before, a perpetrator was so difficult to classify.

One thing is certain: The security authorities seem to have overlooked the "weak signals", such as the ZDF reports . The hesitant reaction not only caused outrage, but also for increased reviews of the security procedures. The attack leaves the colleagues in the secular refugee aid all the more stunned; Threats that have now become bitter reality were expressed in advance.

And so after the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, a nation remains in shock-with burning questions and the hope that such tragedies will never be done again. A call to look more precisely, stay vigilant and, above all, act before it is too late.
