Was wir bisher wissen:

In Magdeburg ist am Freitagabend ein Auto in eine Menschenmenge auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt gerast.

  • Die deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden gehen von einem Anschlag aus. Das Auto hat nach Polizeiangaben mindestens 400 Meter auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt zurückgelegt.

  • Bestätigt ist bisher ein Toter; nach unbestätigten Berichten dürfte die Zahl deutlich höher sein.

  • Sicherheitskreise bestätigten der F.A.Z., dass es 60 bis 80 Verletzte gebe.

  • Der Fahrer des Wagens wurde festgenommen. Nach F.A.Z.-Informationen stammt der mutmaßliche Täter aus Saudi-Arabien.

  • Die Polizei schließt nicht aus, dass es Mittäter gab, und sie hält es für möglich, dass im Tatfahrzeug ein Sprengsatz liegt.

    [The police have not excluded the possibility that there are accomplices and believe that an explosive may be in the attacker's car.]
