What’s new

A Saudi Arabian national was reportedly arrested on Friday after he allegedly drove a car into a crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing at least two people and injuring over 50 others.

The context

German Newspaper Die Wheal reported that between 60 and 80 people were injured or killed in a rental car at the market, although police did not “rule out” that an explosive device could have been used in the apparent attack. The suspect was reportedly born in Saudi Arabia in 1974.

“Officials now say the driver is Saudi,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said during a broadcast Friday night. “He is a doctor and has been in Germany since 2006.”

Although the motive is not yet clear, the nature of Friday’s incident and the national origin of the suspect quickly led to speculation that the incident may have been an Islamist terrorist attack.

In a similar incident at a Christmas market in Berlin on December 19, 2016, at least 13 people were killed and dozens more injured. The suspect suspected of being responsible, an extremist linked to ISIS, was killed in a shootout in Italy a few days later.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
