15. Suspect Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, had expressed anti-Islam and anti-immigrant views

The suspect in the deadly attack on a Christmas market in Germany is a physician and self-described Saudi dissident who has expressed anti-Islamic views, authorities said, and appears to have supported a far-right, anti-immigrant party.


Abdulmohsen, who arrived in Germany in 2006, describes himself as a Saudi dissident, according to a German official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an open investigation. He lived and worked as psychiatric specialist at a clinic in Bernburg, 30 miles south of Magdeburg. The Saudi government said it had warned German authorities multiple times to be aware of him.

“We can only say with certainty that the perpetrator was obviously Islamophobic,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters.

A possible motive was Abdulmohsen’s “dissatisfaction” with how Saudi refugees were treated in Germany, said Horst Walter Nopens, Magdeburg’s chief prosecutor.
