German minister: ‘Striking signs’ that deadly car-ramming suspect is mentally ill
|
[IsraelTimes] Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser says there are indications that the Saudi suspect in a deadly car-ramming attack on a Christmas market 10 days ago is mentally ill.
“There are striking signs of a pathological psyche,” Faeser tells reporters, adding that lessons must be learnt on how to track potential “perpetrators who are psychologically disturbed and… driven by confused conspiracy theories.” So what the lady is saying is that Dr. Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, 50, the drug-using, German-trained psychotherapist from Hofuf in the Shiite region of Saudi Arabia, treated German patients for eighteen years — since his arrival in 2006 — despite becoming dangerously mentally unstable himself. A mental instability that was reported to various authorities a number of times over the years, and an equal number of times brushed off — possibly because no one wanted to be seen as racist, the other possibility being that no one cared that the welfare of the masses receiving government health insurance was placed in the hands of a dangerous monomaniac who spent all his free time tweeting about German unfairness to non-Syrian refugees and whether he ought to commit mass murder to punish them for it. Top men and women are assuredly running that country. February elections can’t come soon enough.
Police Were Warned of Gaps in Christmas Market Security Weeks Before Attack, Says Leaked Email
[Breitbart] Investigation into how the Germany Christmas market attack was allowed to happen descends into bickering and finger-pointing, as newspaper reveals the car-sized gaps in security were known about weeks in advance.
A representative of the Magdeburg city municipal company that runs its annual Christmas market had written to local police three weeks before December’s fatal attack to point out problems, an alleged leaked email said to have been seen by the Volksstimme newspaper claims. The publication states the email refers to the security plan made for the Christmas market, given German authorities know well their annual festivities are a prominent target for attacks, and states the police side of arrangements wasn’t being adhered to.
Referring to the security plan having emergency vehicle accesses to the centre of the market to allow access for police, ambulance, and fire engines in case of an incident but those routes having to be closed off by a parked police vehicle otherwise, the council employee states those police vehicles are frequently absent.
They are reported to have written: “In the area of Hartstrasse, the vehicles are sometimes parked in the wrong position,… I spoke to my colleagues politely and they told me that they had no information about the operation here.”
The email is said to have received no response. It is further stated the market’s security concept was inspected prior to the event opening, but that inspection failed to notice deficiencies, including car-sized gaps between the so-called ‘diversity barriers’ ringing the site not being secured with thick steel chains. Volksstimme stated: “when the market opened, there were wide gaps between the concrete barriers that were supposed to protect the entrances and escape routes.”
In the event, access to the market had been left so wide-open the alleged attacker was able to drive in the market at one end, and then straight out of the other — at the Hartstrasse mentioned in the leaked email — without being stopped, and after having killed five and injured over 200, dozens of them critically.
Damning as the email may seem, Germany’s Bild notes a Magdeburg police representative totally rejected responsibility for the Christmas market, a situation the paper characterised as “everyone is blaming each other”.
The police spokesman told Bild: “The organizer is fundamentally responsible for security at the Christmas market” and that if the city had wanted to be able to control access to the market at four emergency access points, they should have erected lockable security gates rather than rely on the police.
As previously reported, the police being involved in blocking those entrances was nevertheless part of the plan police had agreed to and their own security documents referred to “mobile police barriers” being in place.
Protests by the police they are innocent in the matter appear to have already been dismissed as being potentially without foundation, however, as the local state government has already laid criminal charges against the local force and market organiser for an alleged failure to stop a preventable attack.

Magdeburg attack: Over €600,000 donated to victims, families
[DW] The city’s administration said there have been over 5,600 donations after the deadly attack at a Christmas market. “All donations prove that our city is sticking together,” said city mayor Simone Borris.
The city administration in Magdeburg, Germany said that €615,227.91 ($641,313.57) had been donated to the victims and relatives of the Christmas market attack.
On December 20, a man originally from Saudi Arabia who came to Germany in 2006 drove a car through crowds at the city's Christmas market, killing five people and injuring as many as 235. A 9-year-old child was among those killed.
"The willingness of the population to donate is impressive and another sign of the great solidarity, the broad support and the sense of community that we are currently feeling in many places in Magdeburg,” said Magdeburg Mayor Simone Borris.
"My thoughts are also with the five fatalities, the bereaved and the many injured, as well as the countless relief and emergency services," Borris said in a statement.
"All donations prove that our city is sticking together. This gives us strength and confidence for the future," the mayor said.
