Two Belgian soldiers shot and killed a man who attacked them with a knife in the center of Brussels Friday evening, the country's Federal Police told Fox News.
Authorities said the attack took place on Boulevard Emile Jacquin, a major street not far from the Belgian capital's main Grand Place tourist attraction, at around 8:20 p.m.
Belgian state broadcaster RTBF described the suspect as a Somali man of around 30 years of age who "allegedly shouted 'Allah Akbar' at the time of his gesture."
Belgium's anti-terror crisis center said in a tweet late Friday that the "situation is under control."

How do you allegedly yell Allah Akbar?
Does it sound different than just yelling Allah Akbar?

I wonder what his motive was.
Maybe we’ll find out in a few weeks after enough time has passed for the incident to be thoroughly investigated.

It's a good thing he didn't attack the nearby "Mannekin Pis" sculpture..... Belgians would really be mad if their national heritage were under attack:

Allah Akbar means “this has nothing to do with Islam”, that’s what the Ministry of Propaganda told me.

Uh, no it's not. Western Europe, you're involved in a game of whack-a-mole. You've managed to hit the mole this time. But another one will pop up soon. And then another. You won't get them all.
