A man has shot dead two police officers and civilian in the eastern Belgian city of Liege.

The gunman took a female cleaner hostage at a school before being killed by police. Two other police officers were also injured.

The man's motive is not yet clear but the incident is being treated as terrorism.

Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akhbar"........

Only the BBC which hasn't even reported the arrest of Tommy Robinson which some outlets have in the UK or reported on protests about his arrest in the UK etc. which I guess are outside the court ordered ban, well only the BBC can tell this story this way.

The man’s motive is not yet clear but the incident is being treated as terrorism ... the man was heard shouting “Allahu Akhbar”

Yes, the motive is quite puzzling.

“Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting “Allahu Akhbar”........”

SOOO brave for this Muslim man to target FEMALE police officer.

[Dr. Ursus]

Was he a spy or an informer?

[A_perfect_lady]

Since Islam is peaceful and guns are banned in Belgium, I don’t see how this could possibly happen. Clearly the racists at BBC are just making this up.

“Authorities remain baffled. ..”

Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akhbar"........

But his motive remains unclear. WTF?!

UK DAILY MAIL:

“The man, who is understood to have been on a day release from a nearby prison, had approached the female officers at around 10.30am, slashed their throats and stabbed them several times from behind, before disarming them.”

“He has been named as 36-year-old Benjamin Herman. A lawmaker tonight revealed Belgian national Herman was on an anti-terror police watchlist after being radicalised in jail. He appeared indirectly in security reports on radicalised people and was a multiple repeat offender incarcerated since 2003 who was on day release when he attacked.”
