Tat vehicle and motifs: Magdeburg attack leaves questions!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - In the past few weeks, the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg has caused a sensation. The alleged perpetrator, Taleb A., was intensively illuminated in a process, which now focuses on evaluating his crime vehicle. According to information from MDR confirmed the general prosecutor's office that the vehicle used by the perpetrator, a BMW at short notice Speeds between 45 and 49 km/h drove, which only underlines the tragedy of the incident.

The attack occurred on December 9, 2024, when Taleb A. raced into a crowd with the SUV and two people, including a toddler, cost lives. The chief prosecutor Klaus Tewes pointed out that the official indictment was expected at the end of August at the earliest. It is noteworthy that the automatic emergency brake function may not have been activated, but indications of manipulations or software interventions could be excluded. The first technical report also emphasized that the vehicle was safe.

The background of the perpetrator

Another look at Taleb A. shows that he had serious psychological problems.

Such psychological problems can limit the ability to reflect and accept help, which makes it difficult to distanc extremist ideologies.
