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 state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, suspect Taleb A. threatened to 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.

“He asked the employee whether she had seen the pictures from Boston. Something like that would happen here too,” the ministry said.
One day earlier, on April 15, three people were killed and 260 injured in the bombing of the Boston Marathon.
The Rostock public prosecutor’s office then reportedly applied to the district court for a search warrant for Taleb A.’s flat in Stralsund, which was granted.
However, no weapons, other dangerous objects or bomb-making materials were found.
Later, Taleb A. wrote a letter to the Public Prosecutor General in August 2015, stating, among other things: “From a purely postmodern philosophical point of view, you are dirty bacteria that should soon be destroyed to protect the German people from your danger.”
He cited a “moral duty” to destroy articles of the Constitution that refer to the administration of justice in Germany and the position of judges.
