GERMAN Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday condemned the "terrible, insane" car-ramming attack on a crowded Christmas market that killed five people and injured more than 200.
Police arrested a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatry doctor at the scene Friday, next to the battered SUV that had ploughed through the festive crowd leaving a trail of carnage and bloodied casualties.
A sombre Scholz, dressed in black, visited the attack site Saturday with national and regional politicians in the eastern city of Magdeburg, where they laid flowers outside the main church.
Scholz said at least 40 of the injured were in a condition that people should be "worried" about them but gave no details. He pledged that Germany would respond "with the full force of the law" to the attack. But he also called for unity in the country that has been plunged into a heated debate on immigration and security ahead of elections in February.
