Two police officers have been wounded in Belgium by a man wielding a machete who shouted "Allahu Akbar".

The man was shot after the attack in Charleroi but is alive, the city's police said in a tweet.

Sky's Mark White said: "This was an attack that unfolded at 4pm local time in Belgium outside the police station.

"Two police officers were attacked according to police officials by a man wielding a machete and it was a male and female officer injured.

"The female officer suffered moderate injuries to her face.

"The other officer with her, a male officer, is not so seriously injured.

"A third officer, who was there at the police station, opened fire on the attacker, the attacker has been injured, but we are told is alive at this time.

"Now, there are local reports, this hasn't come from police sources, but local reports suggesting that the attacker as he set about attacking those two police officers was heard to shout the Arabic phrase for God is great.

"But that at this stage hasn't been confirmed by police, but it is being widely reported by media sources in and around the city of Charleroi."

Thanks to the Ministry of Propaganda, we now know the correct interpretation of Allahu Akbar is “This has nothing to do with Islam”

Yep, took words out of my mouth. officially we have to be perplexed about his motive. We just can’t figure out what the heck motivates him to go hacking away at people.

Let's Not Jump to Conclusions.

This is in no way connected to Islam.

Police are trying to figure out the meaning of allaku Akbar, but believe it is unrelated to terrorism.

The Demon possession of islamist is all to common because they worship EVIL! Wake Up and Call Evil by its Name! Then Shed Light and Truth upon that EVIL!

islam is EVIL!

Know this:
Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!
