Saudi doctor given life sentence for deadly car rampage on German Christmas market

MAGDEBURG, June 26 (Reuters) - A Saudi doctor was sentenced to life in prison on Friday for killing six people and injuring hundreds, ramming a rented BMW into crowds at a historic market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg days before Christmas in 2024.
