FaithFreedom.org: Muslim Gunman in Belgium kills 5 and injures 122

December 13, 2011 — LIEGE, Belgium — Summoned for questioning by Belgian police, Nordine Amrani, a Muslim man with a history of weapons and drug offenses left home armed with hand grenades, a revolver and an assault rifle. Stopping at a central square filled with holiday shoppers, he lobbed three grenades into the crowd, then opened fire.

Five people were killed, including an 18-month-old toddler, and 122 were wounded in the assault Tuesday that brought tragedy to the pre-Christmas season of students reveling in exam results and preschoolers enchanted by brightly lit trees and holiday stalls.

The attack is linked to a jail-break. According to Dutch news-site AD, the attack might be linked to a recent honor murder trial. Yesterday four members of the Pakistani Sheikh family were sentenced for the murder of Saida Sheikh. Brother Mudusar was sentenced to 15 years, father Mahmood Tariq to 25, the mother got 20 years and sister Sariya got five years. During sentencing the court received a phone call from a Pakistani organization threatening an attack on the courts in Brussels and Charleroi.

Other sources say the attackers have a drug-crime history.
