German authorities are investigating a Saudi man with a history of anti-Islam rhetoric as the suspected driver in a car-ramming attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg which killed five people

German investigators are looking into a Saudi man with a history of anti-Islamic rhetoric as the suspected driver in a car-ramming attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany that killed 5 people, officials said on Saturday.

The Friday evening attack on crowds of market goers gathered to celebrate the pre-Christmas season comes amid a heated discussion over security and migration in Germany’s election campaign, where the far right is polling well.

A 50-year-old Saudi doctor who has resided in Germany for over 2 decades was arrested on the spot.

Police searched his house overnight.

The motivation remained unknown, and authorities had yet to identify the suspect.

In German media, he is known as Taleb A.

A spokesperson for a specialist rehabilitation clinic for criminals with addictions in Bernburg confirmed that the suspect had worked as a psychiatrist for them, but had not been at work since October due to sickness and holiday leave.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the suspect’s Islamophobia was obvious, but she declined to comment on the motive.
