Magdeburg Christmas Market Attacker Faces Revocation of Medical License

Authorities have initiated proceedings to strip Taleb al-Abdulmohsen of his medical license following the deadly attack that left five dead and over 200 injured.

Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a Saudi national and practicing doctor in Germany, drove a car through a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing five and injuring up to 235 people.
The 50-year-old suspect, who has lived in Germany since 2006, is currently in custody and faces charges including multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.
The Saxony-Anhalt state authorities have suspended his medical license and initiated formal proceedings to permanently revoke it, pending the outcome of criminal investigations and legal proceedings.
Officials explained that suspending a license during ongoing investigations is a precautionary measure aimed at preventing professional activity in uncertain or urgent cases.
The suspect was previously noted for his aggressive online posts criticizing Islam and expressing support for the right-wing AfD party.
