I have attended many Christmas markets over the years. They are so crowded especially at the moment as German children finished school for the Christmas holidays. Frightening, my prayers are with all the victim's 🙏

60 to 80 injured...

This is hideous. Heartbreaking. 😢

I can't imagine the absolute panic & horror, the markets will have been packed with children tonight after finishing up for their Christmas holidays. What possess people to carry out such atrocities?

Awful bloody bastards

I honestly can't fathom it, absolutely evil act😢

Fucking hell.

The suspects details have been announced quickly, apparently a doctor from Saudi Arabia...
Another Christmas market in another city is now being evacuated as a precaution

Doctor from Saudi 50 been in Germany in 2oo6.

He must really have hated the society he choose to move to..he was there 18 years. What actually possesses people to carry out such evil.
Radicalisation is such a threat to our society at the moment. It wasn't so long ago that police foiled the huge attack planned for the Taylor Swift concert in Vienna

According to x which may not be true of course there was a protest against a Christian tradition festival a few days before.

In the same town? Sure that's insane, Germany was always a Christian country. It has some of the most beautiful churches & cathedrals.

A small child was among the dead😥

newspapers saying 11 dead, SKY and other channels saying 2

Religion

We don't know yet, making assumptions because he's from Saudi but he's a doctor and has been there since 2006.
Strange profile I think something left field may come out.

It is frightening . Christmas Markets have been a stable part of German culture for hundreds of years, all have strong Christian associations with Carol services, beautiful cribs, Christmas trees.. how dare certain groups target them.

Religion, yes. And could be any of them..

He's not native to Germany, what went so wrong that he felt it necessary to carry out such an evil act of terror.

Yes but he has been there for a long time?

18 years... what led him to hate his adopted country so much?

Are you making assumptions about why I'm making assumptions?

If we go back in history and look at historical reasons Christmas markets have been attacked, what was the reason?

This is my basis for assumption

At least 11 dead, utterly unbelievable. Rest their souls.
No words, this was total carnage.

And he's a doctor so highly educated don't you think the profile is strange.

Maybe it's radicalised, a sleeper maybe something happened to him to trigger this something traumatic.

It's not the usual profile of newer arrivals and less educated?? Less education mkre open to manipulate

@User92736 I don't think I even saw your post I'm merely thinking out loud that the profile seems so odd

Hadn't something similar already hppened in the padt? It rings bells.
So shocked and sad for all the victims and the community.
