The Magdeburg murderer studied evacuation routes to attack the Christmas market, bypassing security

Faced with the accusations and criticism against the City Council, Krug defended that “the anti-attack system has demonstrated its effectiveness for many years“, since, “on the one hand it guarantees the protection of visitors and, on the other, it allows access to emergency services quickly and safely.” Something that raises doubts after what happened.

Furthermore, in defense of the system established by the City Council, he defends that “during the planning of the anti-attack system, such a case could not be predicted” and, due to its magnitude, “it couldn’t be helped”. An attack in which five people died and left more than 200 injured.

It’s not the first time that Germany suffers an attack of these characteristics. On December 19, 2016Anis Amri, a 24-year-old Tunisian, entered the Christmas market at full speed with a truck. district of Charlottenburg of Berlin, located next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on Breitscheidplatz. In the attack, committed in the name of the Islamic State, m12 people were injured and 56 were injured.

Until that moment, attacking through mass attacks was an unusual methodology and this possibility had not been considered. In that same year the same massacre was repeated on the Paseo de los Ingleses in Nicekilling 86 people; and in 2017 in London (8 dead), Stockholm (4 dead), the attack on La Rambla de Barcelonakilling 16 people and wounding 180, and in New York (8 dead).

In reaction, measures were adopted throughout Europe to prevent these types of attacks. An observable methodology in Spain, where flower pots, concrete blocks or metal bollards to prevent the high speed access of vehicles to large roads or in busy areas. These obstacles are placed in a zig-zag pattern to allow entry to emergency services or Security Forces.

At the moment the attack in Magdeburg continues to be investigated.

Islamophobic and far-right Saudi

Taleb Al Abdulmohsen, known by the authorities as Taleb A, entered the country legally in 2006, with a study visa to further his training. He did not apply for asylum until 2016, which was granted in July of that year.

According to media such as the magazine Der Spiegel or the diary Frankfurter RundchauTaleb’s life passes through abandonment of the Muslim faithis oriented towards the activism for Saudi women and leads to open sympathies for the AfD and in theories about an alleged plan to Islamize Europe, concocted according to him by former Chancellor Angela Merkel.

He is a psychiatrist and has been working since 2020 in a center for the improvement and protection of criminals with addiction in Bernburg. However, he had been out of service since October of this year, combining vacation and sick leave.

Abdulmohsen was sentenced to pay a 90-day fine in 2013 for “disturbing public order” and “threatening to commit criminal offenses.”

Ten years later, in August 2023, he wrote on his social networks that “If Germany wants war, it will have it. If they want to kill us, we are going to massacre them.” In addition to writing a book called “Creative Refutation of Islam”, which never came to light due to lack of funding.

In his messages from that time inWould you blame me if I killed 20 Germans indiscriminately? Why was Germany taking action against the Saudi opposition?” Apparently, he deleted the post himself. However, the Bot Thread Reader App has archived the message, which is why the German media has been able to reproduce it.

Abdulmohsen threatened the German people on his networks and also attacked the Prosecutor’s Office and the judges for ignoring his complaints about how Saudi spies were trying to prevent humanitarian aid efforts for opposition exiles.
