Dark BMW reportedly drove into crowd in eastern German town of Magdeburg in what is being described as a terror attack
Summary
A car ploughed into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing at least two people, including a child, and injuring 68 others, 15 critically, in what authorities are treating as a terror attack.
The suspect, identified as Taleb A., a Saudi Arabian psychiatrist living in Germany since 2006, was arrested at the scene. He allegedly drove a rented BMW through the crowded market, targeting families and children.
The attack raised concerns about security at Christmas markets despite preventive measures like bollards. German and French leaders expressed shock and condolences.
This incident follows heightened vigilance since a 2016 truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market that killed 13 people.
[The killer in this article] fears an Islamization of Germany and shares content from right-wing ideological accounts, including AfD leader Alice Weidel and X owner Elon Musk.

I just think it's neat that when they're brown they're consistently matched with their religion, but only certain people will associate white nationalists and Nazis with Christianity.
As current information indicates radical hate of all religions and insane claims of German police furthering the "islamization" of Germany.
Going by the stuff the suspect wrote on his twitter it seems stochastic terrorism from the far right worked once again. Just that this time the victims aren't brown, queer or jewish, but "normal" (by the far rights idea) Germans.
