Self-proclaimed Islamist, 24-year-old Saudi national Ahmad A., has shocked Germany after he expressed glee in an interview with public media outlet MDR over the horrific Magdeburg Christmas market attack and openly laments that “more people didn’t die.”
Ahmad A. is not just anybody, but an actual friend of the 50-year-old Saudi Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, who killed six people and wounded 300 during the Christmas market attack in Magdeburg on Dec. 20, 2024. Like Al-Abdulmohsen, Ahmad A. came from Saudi Arabia to live in Germany, and like his friend, he worked in clinical psychology.
MDR was so startled by Ahmad A.’s comments and later reported them to the police. Now, the suspect is in hiding since the interview.
He also told MDR the attack was “completely OK.”
Ahmad A. told the MDR team that “if you feel persecuted by the authorities, by society,” then what options did Al-Abdulmohsen have left?
Ahmad A. also made baseless claims that German authorities were waging a “war against Saudis.” He announced his intention to the MDR team to extract revenge because his asylum application was rejected.
Ahmad A. and Al-Abdulmohsen met via X all the way back in 2016, and both resided in Halberstadt.
The MDR team expressed “shock” about the comments and informed the Erfurt police, but police say the man has already vanished.
The threats follow a pattern seen with Al-Abdulmohsen, who threatened terror attacks for years, all while maintaining his medical license and facing little in terms of law enforcement action. Due to police and government failures, the terror attack happened.
Ahmad A. is apparently also known to police, and even left-wing politicians are lamenting the situation. SPD politician Rüdiger Erben said his “mouth was open” with shock when he saw the parallels between Ahmad A. and Al-Abdulmohsen, who both seem to be open to promoting their terror ideas to the public. However, instead of blaming the open borders policies of his own party, he is blaming a “lack of awareness” from police.
“It is not enough to address threats and then tick the box,” he stated.
Other players in the open borders political sphere, who have allowed thousands of Islamic extremists into Germany and Europe, are also now feigning surprise at the case of Ahmad A.
Konstantin von Notz of the Greens said that the situation is “completely crazy when you look at this at the European level.” He claimed the bureaucratic danger is “unacceptable.”
This week, it was announced that nearly every single terror case in the first half of 2025 involved Islamic extremists. How many right-wing extremist cases were prosecuted? Zero.
