Will of the Magdeburg attacker: Donations to the DRK!

On Friday evening, a terrible incident in Magdeburg made headlines: The suspected assassin Taleb Al Abdulmohsen raced into a Christmas market in a rented BMW and left a trail of destruction behind. Five people were killed and over 200 others were injured, many of them seriously. According to reports, the 27-year-old had already rented the vehicle on December 11th and apparently planned the act carefully, which is confirmed by the discovery of a will in the car crown reported.

The will and the fatal backstory

In the will that was found in the rental car after the incident, Al Abdulmohsen expressed his wish to bequeath his entire fortune to the German Red Cross. However, the document does not contain any political messages, which further complicates the investigation. According to that Daily Mirror There are many indications that the attacker was suffering from mental illness and had been in the sights of the authorities for a long time. Previous contacts with the police had not raised any significant security alarm, although Al Abdulmohsen was known to the authorities for threats and defamation.

His statements on X are particularly alarming, where he had already indicated in May that he wanted to die “this year”. In an interview, he highlighted extremely Islamophobic ideas and opposed German authorities and their attitude towards ex-Muslims. Before the fatal act, he appeared to have become increasingly radicalized, raising questions about the lack of security measures.
