Police in Germany have said a man suspected of killing at least five people and injuring hundreds after he drove a car at speed through a crowded Christmas market faces charges of murder and attempted murder. In the central town of Magdeburg, where the attack happened on Friday night, police said the suspect, named by German media as Taleb alAbdulmohsen, a 50-year-old psychiatrist from Saudi Arabia, was remanded in custody late on Saturday night. The suspect has lived in Germany for almost two decades. The motive for the attack remained unclear. Police said on Sunday that prosecutors had pressed charges of murder and attempted murder against alAbdulmohsen, an anti-Islam activist who had made online death threats against German citizens and had a history of disputes with state authorities.
