Saudi doctor held after car ploughs into crowd at Christmas event, leaving five people dead and dezens more sala
The German city of Magdeburg is in mourning following an attack on a busy Christmas market which killed at least five people and left dozens more injured.
Tributes piled up yesterday as state leaders visited the site of the attack where a driver rammed a car into crowds at around 7pm on Friday. As a clearer picture of what happened emerged, Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed to use the full force of the law as he called for unity across the country.
The official death toll rose throughout the day, with five people – including a nine-year-old child – confirmed dead and a further 200 injured. Mr Scholz expressed his concern for 40 of the injured, who are believed to be in a critical condition. Cette histoire est tirée de l'édition December 22, 2024 de The Independent.
