DEATH TOLL RISES IN CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACK/SAUDI IMIGRANT DOCTOR DETAINED
The death toll in the attack on a busy Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has risen to five, the state governor said Saturday. More than 200 people were injured, many seriously, when Saudi doctor intentionally drove a black BMW into the market Friday evening. The man, who was detained, has lived in Germany for nearly two decades, practicing medicine. Several German media outlets identified him as Taleb Al Abdulmohsen Describing himself as a former Muslim. Also on his social media, Al Abdulmohsen blamed German authorities for allegedly committing crimes against Saudi refugees and advised Saudis not to seek asylum in Germany. A Saudi source told Reuters that Saudi Arabia had warned German authorities about the attacker.
The US Senate has rushed through final passage of a bipartisan plan to fund federal operations and prevent a government shutdown. It now goes to President Joe Biden, who is expected to quickly sign it into law. The House passed the package late Friday in an overwhelming vote. Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump is happy with the outcome.
