The alleged perpetrator A. is obviously a fan of the AfD, as revealed by an analysis of several of his social media accounts by SPIEGEL. Eight years ago, he wrote on Twitter that he wanted to start a project together with the AfD: an academy for ex-Muslims. When another user asked why he was planning to do this with the AfD, he replied: Who else is fighting Islam in Germany? He obviously held this opinion until the end.
Dr. Horst Nopens, Head of the Magdeburg Public Prosecutor's office, said the suspect in custody may have been dissatisfied with Germany's treatment of Saudi refugees. According to Reuters, five were killed in the attack and more than 200 were injured.
The outlet also reported the suspect in custody praised Musk and Jones. Taleb A. apparently shared the resentment of conspiracy ideologists and agitators such as the US podcaster Alex Jones or the British right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.
