We are quickly learning a lot about the terrorist who mowed down people at a Christmas market in Germany tonight, killing multiple people and injuring many.
His name is reported to be Talib Al-Abdulmohsen and he’s from Saudi Arabia. He is said to be a Saudi fugitive and was granted asylum in Germany as a political refugee.
EURO NEWS – According to the Spiegel, the man arrested following the alleged attack was born in the Saudi Arabian city of Hofuf. His name is allegedly Taleb A., he arrived in Germany in March 2006 and was granted refugee status in July 2016. Der Spiegel reports that he’s a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
Florian Flade, national security reporter for WRD Investigativ and SZ Investigativ posted on X that the suspect “was not previously known to security authorities as an Islamist. On the contrary, he was recognised as a political refugee who had renounced Islam and turned his back on the Saudi Arabian royal family. He worked as a doctor in Saxony-Anhalt.”
Ian Miles Cheong adds to this, saying:
According to reports from UAE and Saudi Arabian users, the perpetrator of the Christmas market attack in Magdeburg, Germany is a fugitive from Saudi Arabia. The German government refused to extradite him despite requests from the Saudi government, citing human rights concerns.
Translation by @AD_GQ: “Reports suggest that the perpetrator of the Germany attack is a well-known fugitive traitor named Talib Al-Abdulmohsen. He fled from Saudi Arabia, where he is a wanted individual, and was granted asylum and citizenship by Germany, which refused to extradite him to Riyadh under the pretext of human rights and freedom of expression. He repaid this favor today by committing a massacre. ♂️ Europe is destroying itself from within.) End.”

I have been calling this terrorist a Muslim because of this horrific action. But if he renounced Islam, could there be another motive? Or did he find Islam again and become an Islamist?
Either way, Germany is going to have a lot of explaining to do if this report is true…
