Two killed, almost 70 injured in German Christmas market terror attack
A car ploughed into a crowd at a German Christmas market on Friday, killing at least two people, including a small child, and leaving almost 70 wounded in a lone wolf terror attack. The dark-coloured BMW crashed through barriers protecting the market in Magdeburg and drove straight into shoppers at 7.04pm local time. Video purportedly taken by a nearby camera showed a car mowing down pedestrians as it sped through a narrow alleyway with stalls on either side. People could be seen fleeing in panic as some attended to bodies left strewn on the ground. Police arrested the 50-year-old suspect who is a doctor from Saudi Arabia and has lived in Germany since 2006, the premier of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, said. The suspect had been practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 23 miles (36 kilometres) south of Magdeburg, according to officials “As things stand, he is a lone perpetrator, so that as far as we know there is no further danger to the city,” Mr Haseloff said. “...
