Magdeburg, Germany CNN —Its glühwein stalls, festooned with Christmas lights and tinsel, stand emptied and shuttered. The horrific car-ramming attack on this Christmas market on Friday night left at least five people dead, including a 9-year-old boy, plunging this provincial German city into shock. Security and rescue workers at the site of a Berlin Christmas market targeted in an attack in 2016. RAIR Foundation/ReutersBut for many Germans in Magdeburg, the fact the latest Christmas market attacker doesn’t fit the expected security profile simply doesn’t matter. It seems this horrific and deadly Christmas market attack, despite allegedly being committed by a self-confessed Islamophobe, is fueling Germany’s angry anti-immigration mood.

CNN —A judge in Germany ordered the suspect in a deadly Christmas market ramming attack to be held in pre-trial detention following a late-night court appearance on Saturday as authorities face growing accusations they could have done more to prevent it. Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is accused of ramming a car into a busy market in the city of Magdeburg, killing five people and injuring more than 200. On social media, he has been a fervent critic of Islam and prosecutors suggested he may have become embittered with how Germany treats Saudi refugees. “The accused was taken to a correctional facility accordingly.”The police also released additional details on the victims of Friday’s attack. Germany stepped up security at Christmas markets - a fixture of the festive season - following a deadly car ramming in Berlin in 2016.
