I’m Stuart Mcintosh with the BBC News. Hello, German police are trying to establish the motive of a Saudi man arrested on suspicion of carrying out Friday’s deadly attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg. (Q1) At least five people were killed and more than 200 injured when a car was driven into a crowd on Friday. The suspect had no known links to Islamist extremism. Our security correspondent is Frank Gardner. (Q2) A source close to the Saudi government tells me it sent four official notifications to the German authorities warning them about what it said with the very extreme views held by Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen. Three were sent to Germany’s intelligence agencies and one to the foreign ministry. (Q3) But all, the source said, we’re ignored. (Q4) Reports have emerged in the German media of the suspect’s campaigns against his country’s official religion, Islam, and of his fury at the policy of his adopted home, Germany, in letting in such huge numbers of Muslim refugees from the Middle East.
