Saudi Arabian ‘doctor’ Taleb, who carried out the terror attack in Germany, was interviewed by BBC in 2019

BBC News hailed Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen as an activist who "helped hundreds seek asylum" in Germany.

Hours after a Saudi Arabian ‘doctor’ Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen carried out a deadly terror attack in Magdeburg city of Germany, it emerged that the terrorist was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) News in 2019.

The UK’s national broadcaster hailed Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen as an activist who “helped hundreds seek asylum” in the European country.

In a news feature titled ‘The website helping ex-Muslims flee the Gulf’, BBC News interviewed the future Magdeburg terrorist.

Hi, my name is Taleb. I am from Saudi Arabia. I am an activist. I created a website to help people seeking asylum, especially from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. I use basically WhatsApp, Twitter, Telegram,” he was heard saying.

Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen had claimed to spend 10-16 hours each day helping Saudi asylum seekers.

The only Arab country from which I did not have an ex-Muslim seeking help until now from me is Oman. 90% of people who approach me are women between 18 and 30 years old,” he claimed in the BBC News feature.

The UK’s national broadcaster is also accused of downplaying the severity of the terror attack in Magdeburg city of Germany

Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen had openly posted threats of violence before killing 2 people and injuring 60 others.

“I seriously expect to die this year. Reason: I will bring justice at any cost. And German authorities are impeding all peaceful pathways to justice. If you are a concerned German citizen, you should demand justice now. If you are not concerned, then ok but don’t complain later,” he had tweeted.

The German authorities did not act against him despite repeated alerts from the Saudi government.
