(DPA) Authorities in Germany on Monday released details of past threats made by the suspected perpetrator of the deadly car rampage through a Christmas market in Magdeburg.
According to the Ministry of Justice in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the suspect identified as Taleb A implied that he would commit acts of violence on two occasions prior to the attack on December 20, which killed five people and injured around 230.
Angered at what he saw as slow processing of his request to take a specialist examination, the doctor in April 2013 had threatened in a telephone call with an employee of the medical association that something would happen that would attract international attention.
