A Saudi doctor is suspected of ploughing his BMW through a packed Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing five people including a nine-year-old child and leaving 200 others injured.
The suspect, identified only as Taleb A under German privacy laws, had previously posted social media rants claiming German politicians were attempting to "Islamicise" the country.
The 50-year-old psychiatrist, who moved to Germany in 2006, also wrote about the persecution of former Muslims in Europe. He is reportedly a supporter of Germany's hard-Right AfD party.
Officials on Saturday said a nine-year-old child is among the five killed in the Christmas market attack.
