Terrorism in Belgium, Multiple Men Throw Grenades in City Center

Belgium City Attacked By Men With Grenades

Quote
Details are sketchy, but initial reports from Belgium say that at least two people were killed when someone began throwing grenades in the city center of Liege. It appears that the attacker or attackers threw grenades or other explosives into crowds then possibly began shooting with firearms. The BBC says "several men" tossed explosives at people waiting at a bus stop and about a dozen people were injured.

Some of the initial reports said that there may have been multiple attackers, while another said it was woman who killed herself at the scene. One report says there were three attackers — one arrested, one killed, and one at large. It's not clear if the dead attacker is among the dead.

Obviously, the situation is chaotic and details are changing, but we'll continue with updates as we get them.

Deadly attack rocks central Liege in Belgium

Quote
A gun and grenade attack in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege has killed at least two people and wounded about 25, Belgian media say.

They say several men threw grenades and fired on a crowd at a bus stop in Place Saint Lambert, a busy square.

Some reports say one of the attackers is among the dead. Local media said another had been seized by police but gunfire was continuing.

The area has been sealed off. There is no word on who carried out the attack.

Grenade attack in Belgium kills at least two

Quote
At least two people have been killed and a dozen injured after a man detonated several explosives in Liege, Belgium.

The man is reported to have lobbed several grenades at a bus shelter in Place Saint-Lambert, close to Liege's courthouse and a busy Christmas market, at about 11.30am.

Witnesses reported hearing four explosions and gun fire.

Local televison station RTL-TV1 said that one of two or more assailants threw stun grenades into the courthouse while another was hurled at a bus shelter.

Shots were reportedly fired across the square by gunmen on the rooftop of a bakery, with further shots heard later from across town.

Police cordoned off the square and gave chase to the assailants. One is believed to have been killed.
Gaspard Grosjean, a journalist for La Meuse Liege on the scene, told The Daily Telegraph there was panic and confusion on the streets of Liege.

"There is at least one dead and the attacker. Police are looking for another shooter. There are lots of ambulances and many casualties - at least 10 people.

"At the moment you can't move in the city centre. People are crying and in shock - they do not know what is going on. Everyone has been told to stay inside and are hiding in shops."

Lutherans.  Lutherans disguised as Amish.  With right-wing ties and NRA membership cards, I'm sure.  I'll bet that's what Hitlery and Manly Jan have to say on it.

Is it possible there has been a Reserection of the Shaker Comunity in Europe.   Fine good people that dance to rid themselves of sexual feelings.

Who would notice a group of men and woman dancing about the street lobing bombs at others,   beating others up with good Shaker furniture legs and singing to the Lord???

OH yes this is better then sex, sing ,dance, throw bombs and belt everyone over the head with a Shaker made table leg.

The Shakers have been reborn in Europe.------Beware the sexually frustrated will cause harm to others.

Actually it came to me because of another sarcastic thread here this week, concerning them Saudi Arabian Synod Lutherans killing that witch.  In a meta way.  PHC has its great moments but Keillor tends to be pretty pretentiously Liberal and it gets under my skin.  The Red Green Show is more my speed.
