Angry protesters have flooded the streets of Germany, demanding mass deportations after a Saudi doctor killed five people in a Christmas market attack. The Mail has more.
Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, is accused of ramming his SUV into a packed market in the town of Magdeburg on Friday night, killing four women aged 45 to 75 and nine year-old André Gleißner as well as injuring over 200 people.
Around 700 hard-Right demonstrators gathered in Magdeburg last night, with people holding a banner with the word “Remigration Now” and so-called homeland flags.
The protesters, described by German tabloid Bild as Right-wing extremists and hooligans, marched through Magdeburg shouting: “Anyone who doesn’t love Germany should leave Germany”, “Migration kills” and “We must take back our cities, our villages and our homeland.” …
The Saudi suspect, psychiatrist and anti-Islam activist al-Abdulmohsen, had made online death threats against German citizens and had a history of quarrelling with state authorities.
News magazine Der Spiegel, citing security sources, said the Saudi secret service had warned Germany’s spy agency BND a year ago about a tweet in which al-Abdulmohsen threatened Germany would pay a “price” for its treatment of Saudi refugees.
And in August al-Abdulmohsen wrote on social media: “Is there a path to justice in Germany without blowing up a German embassy or randomly slaughtering German citizens?… If anyone knows it, please let me know.”
In a post in December last year, he wrote: “Germany is the only country – other than Saudi Arabia – that chases female Saudi asylum seekers all over the world to destroy their lives.
“Revenge will come soon. Even if it costs me my life. I will make the German nation pay the price of the crimes committed by its Government against Saudi refugees.” …
As Germany grieves, anger was also boiling up, with signs that troublesome days lie ahead. More than 1,000 far-Right thugs descended on Magdeburg to protest against the attack, with anger visible on their faces. …
It has been reported that the Saudis first warned Germany in 2007 about the suspect.
They raised concerns about his radical views and requested his extradition from Germany between 2007 and 2008 but the German authorities refused, citing concern for the man’s welfare.
