Saturday's machete attack on police officers in Belgium joins the growing list of terror attacks perpetrated by ISIS, chronicled here.

Following is a list compiled by AFP of attacks on Western targets claimed by or blamed on ISIS after Saturday's assault on two policewomen in southern Belgium:

August 6: Machete attack in Belgium

A machete-wielding man shouting "Allahu Akbar" attacks two policewomen in Charleroi, southern Belgium, badly injuring one in the face before being shot dead by a third officer.

Investigators give the initials of the assailant as K.B., describing him as a 33-year-old Algerian who had been living in Belgium since 2012.

The following day, IS says the attacker acted "in response to (its) calls to target citizens" of countries in the US-led coalition bombing IS in Syria and Iraq.

July 26: French priest killed

Terrorists slit an elderly priest's throat in a hostage-taking at his church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

French President Francois Hollande says the two attackers, killed by police, claimed to be from ISIS, while the group says they were its "soldiers".

July 24: German suicide blast

A failed Syrian asylum-seeker blows himself up outside a music festival in the German city of Ansbach, wounding 15 others. The Bavarian interior minister says the man "pledged allegiance" to IS, while the jihadist-linked Amaq news agency said he was a "soldier" of the group.

July 18: German train attack

A 17-year-old asylum-seeker, believed to have been Afghan or Pakistani, attacks passengers on a Bavarian train with an ax, injuring five people, two of them critically. He is shot dead by police.

IS releases a video the following day purportedly featuring the attacker announcing he would carry out an "operation" in Germany.

And the phony US effort to “fight” ISIS continues, with the CIA/SOF supplying ISIS.

America’s FIRST Muslim President thinks Americans are idiots. So far, he is right. With Allah protecting the Muslims, they could give the weapons to ISIS on CBS news and many Americans would still vote for Hillary.
