Riyadh reportedly warned German authorities about Saudi national ahead of Christmas market attack

Saudi Arabia recently warned German authorities three times about the potential danger posed by the Saudi national who carried out yesterday’s deadly Christmas market ramming attack, the German newspaper Der Spiegel reports.

Reuters cites a source who also says that Germany had been warned about Taleb al-Abdulmohsen due to the extremist views he had been posting on social media.

Five people were killed and some 200 injured when an SUV plowed through the festive crowd in Magdeburg. One of the victims was a young child.
