The suspect in the German car-ramming attack that killed five and injured more than 200 on Friday has been identified as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a self-described member of the “liberal opposition” to Saudi Arabia who has voiced strong anti-Islamic and anti-immigration views. Two senior U.S. officials familiar with the matter identified al-Abdulmohsen as the suspect.
The car allegedly driven by al-Abdulmohsen plowed 1,200 feet into a crowd in a narrow alley in Magdeburg, a city of about 240,000 people west of Berlin, where shoppers had gathered Friday night. The victims include four adults and a 9-year-old child.
Al-Abdulmohsen, a doctor from Saudi Arabia who lived in Germany, sought asylum in Germany in 2016, citing threats from Saudi Arabia, before working at a clinic as a “specialist in psychiatry.” But his online activity includes historic and recent inflammatory content on X, and he has been accused of erratic behavior by an NGO for refugees. He has aligned himself with far-right movements such as Germany’s anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, while praising figures like Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders.
