Car driven into German Christmas market kills two

Police on Friday evening held a suspect after an apparent attack on a Christmas festival in the central German city of Megdeburg. A car was driven into a crowd at the market, killing at least two people and injuring dozens of others, according to Deutsche Welle, a state-owned public German broadcaster.

Do we know anything about the suspect? Reiner Haseloff, the premier for the state of Saxony Anhalt, described the suspect as a Saudi national who police believe acted alone, according to Deutsche Welle. Megdeburg Police later on Friday urged the public to stay away from the market, which they closed.
