Warnings ignored! Tragic attack on Magdeburg Christmas market

Magdeburg, Deutschland - A shocking incident shakes Germany: A suspected attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg demanded tragic consequences at night. At the wheel of a rental car, the 50-year-old Taleb Abdulmohsen, an asylum seeker from Saudi Arabia, according to police, raced into a crowd and killed at least five people, while over 200 others were injured, many of them. The attack occurred in the middle of the festive preparations for Christmas, according to Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff, this was a "inhumane attack" that transformed the anticipation of the people into a nightmare.

However, it is unknown that in 2023 a woman from Saudi Arabia was carried out that Abdulmohsen planned an attack. This informed both the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and the Berlin police, such as nius . In her emails, she urges her to kill the suspect Androhe to kill 20 Germans. Tragically, her alarm did not land with the right authorities, but was sent to a police station in Berlin, New Jersey. The focus on the securing of the security authorities also draws a view of possible failures. While Chancellor Olaf Scholz announces harsh scissors, FDP general secretary Marco Buschmann urgently demands reforms in the security authorities, since according to him it is not to be accepted that such preliminary warnings were ignored.

The sad record of the incident raises questions that the country currently keep in suspense: How could such a attack be done despite repeated warnings? Against the background of a chaotic security system, those responsible now check the structures of internal security. An international echo follows, since Saudi Arabia also expresses its dismay about the attack and declares that he is connected to the perpetrator's extremist views. While mourning base was ordered throughout the country and the Christmas markets are under increased safety precautions, the search for answers and justice for the victims of the cool season remains, which should be shaped for so many people.
