The attack took place around noon on Saint-Lambert square, home to the town's courthouse and located near a busy Christmas market, Belga news agency said.

A two-year-old child is reportedly fighting for life in hospital. Six other victims are said to be gravely injured.

One of two or more assailants threw stun grenades into the courthouse while another was hurled at a bus shelter, RTL-TV1 said.

Shots were fired across the square by gunmen posted on the rooftop of a bakery shop, with further shots heard later from across town.

Police cordoned off the square and gave chase to the assailants, one of whom was reportedly killed. The gunmen are thought to be hiding in Liege cathedral.

“The Karachi Post in Pakistan claimed that the attack was linked to a sentence in an honour killing case. It said the parents of Sadia Sheikh were sentenced on Monday when there had been a bomb alert in the court.”

Looks like another muslim terrorist attack on Europe.

Prayers for the people of Liege.

So when will we get the stories about how this is the fault of the Belgian legal system because they condemned an honor killing? Don’t those silly Belgians understand that upholding one’s family honor should be allowed in Belgianistan?

Out of the diplomatic pouch in the Iranian Embassy in Brussels, no doubt.

The MSM “news” has only 2 pathways to handle this.

1. Was Islam and Sharia involved?

IF YES ===>
Say nothing, OR Blame the TeaParty,
OR “lone right wing gunman” OR “work place accident”

IF NO ====>
Go back to fawning Obama, covering up DNC corruption
and the weather.

Watch this story get buried. Islam is not to be questioned.

No way could this be linked to The Religion of Fuzzy Bunnies.

Liege is a beautiful small city. Prayers for the victims. Vengeance against the Muslims. All mosques should be shut down.

well, there you go

Who wouldn't defend sharia law and the right to avenge allah by blowing up infidel toddlers at a Christmas market? I presume the rest of this yoot gang are pissing in the communion cups at the Liege cathedral where they took “sanctuary”

Obviously more Belgiques simply need to arrange mosque field trips for their children to enhance cultural acceptance.

And to improve public security by strip-searching old white ladies in wheelchairs

(sarc)

Any country that willingly takes in the Islamic culture in the name of equality and diversity drinks its own poison.
