The Christmas market in Magdeburg, which was the scene of a deadly attack by Saudi psychiatrist Taleb Al-Abdulmozen, has officially closed, having remained shut since the incident last Friday. Five people were killed and around 200 injured. Flowers and toys are being left at the site as investigations continue into security protocol failures and the attacker’s background. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and CDU/CSU candidate Friedrich Merz have called for thorough investigations into potential past warnings regarding the assailant and the legal framework surrounding deportations of immigrants with criminal potential.
