Prosecutors: Brussels Attack Was Probably Arson, Not a Bomb

Attackers rammed a car through the gates of Belgium's crime institute early Monday and set fire to a lab containing crime scene samples, apparently in an effort to destroy evidence, Brussels prosecutors said.

As the blaze in the north Brussels suburb erupted, residents heard at least one explosion and Belgian media reported a bomb attack, but investigators said the noise was probably materials going up in flames.

OK, so this was not a terrorist attack. Someone was trying to destroy evidence by, well, leveling an entire government building. And this comes a few days after a "gas explosion" destroyed a Belgian sports center.

Lots of odd things happening in Belgium these days.

The article wreaks of Belgiumate, a particle found in Western newsprint that reduces the likelyhood any act will be considered an act of terrorism.

Rumors have spread about the likelyhood of an electronic version covering sound and video. Photos are suspect as well.

There are no known preventative measure for the effects of Belgiumate, but here again, rumors to the effect Free Republic has come up with a cure continue to circulate,
