Two police officers stabbed in Brussels
[IsraelTimes] Two police officers have been stabbed by a knife-wielding assailant in Brussels, Belgian media says.The attack occurred in the heavily Muslim neighborhood of Molenbeek. The two officers, both of whom were wearing bulletproof vests, were unharmed, according to Flandersnews.be. The officers had approached the assailant to speak to him when they were attacked. One was stabbed in the stomach seven times, and another one stabbed once. The attacker was apprehended after a short chase. Molenbeek has been described by some as a hotbed of Islamism. Several terrorists from the March bombings in Brussels and the November attacks in Paris had been linked to the neighborhood.
A spokeswoman for the Brussels prosecutors office said the assailant had said nothing and the case had not been transferred to federal counter-terrorism specialists. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-09-08 |
