Summary
A Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five people, including a child, and injuring over 200.
The 50-year-old suspect, who had lived in Germany for nearly two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right politics. Authorities believe he acted alone.
The attack shocked Germany, prompting other towns to cancel Christmas markets and increasing security measures nationwide.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz mourned the victims, and a memorial service is planned. Saudi Arabia condemned the attack, calling it a tragedy.
I live in mecca so we don’t have stuff like that or airports or even cinemas. But yes, only for tourists.
Saudi Arabia sucks to live in. Hard. It is one of the most conservative, and least democratic country in the world. We have no workers rights, many people live in poverty, the non tourist cities are under developed, the government is also wahhabist, and what does the Prince do? He spends all OUR wealth on his toys and side projects. Saying Saudi Arabia is fascist is not far from the truth at this point.
I feel jealous of other countries, to be honest.
Please don’t fall for MBSs faux-liberalisation, he is a fascist, just like all before him. In fact, this comment alone is enough to get me executed.
It’s only good for tourists here.
