The Magdeburg attack already leaves six dead after the death in the last hours of an injured woman

MADRID Jan. 6 () –

The attack on December 20 in the German town of Magdeburg has claimed a sixth fatality two and a half weeks after the attack, when a 52-year-old woman who had been hospitalized since then succumbed to her injuries, as confirmed this Monday by the Naumburg Prosecutor’s Office to the German media.

The attack occurred at a Christmas market in the city when a 50-year-old individual, identified as ‘Taleb A.’, of Saudi origin, began to run over hundreds of people who were walking around the place with his vehicle before being arrested. Around 300 people were injured.

The attacker, whose full name is protected by German privacy laws, presented himself on social media as a vehement critic of Islam and Saudi Arabia, his native country.

However, their enemies also included the German state and a secular refugee organization from the city of Cologne. Confusingly, he also leveled accusations against the German authorities, whom he criticized for not doing enough to combat Islamism.
