The suspected attacker’s many posts on social media site X reveal him as a critic of Islam who railed against Muslim immigration into Europe.

At least five people, including a 9-year-old child, were killed in the attack, which took place in the eastern city of Magdeburg. The authorities are still seeking a motive.

A suspect has been identified but there were still no direct answers Saturday as to what motivated him to drive his BMW into the crowded Christmas market.
