Senator death threat suspect freed
2005-01-03
Belgian prosecutors have freed on bail a man arrested for threatening to kill an Antwerp senator 'ritually', it was confirmed on Monday.
Gee, now what kind of "ritual" do you suppose he had in mind?
The 38 year old man, known only as Philippe D.C. was arrested last November after making threatening telephone calls to socialist senator Mimount Bouskala. Bouskala, who is of North African origin, was forced into hiding after receiving the threats when police advised her that her life could be in danger.
North African, huh? I guess that answers my "ritual" question.
The man risks a prison sentence of up to two years if he is found guilty of making the threats to Bouskala. He denies the allegations against him.
"Lies, all lies!"

#3  It's your b usiness what you support. Me, I think Belge Senators crossed the line when they voted that their (kangooru) courts have a right to try Israel's PM.

#2  No, Phillippe, don't go. We shouldn't support assasinations of elected government officials, even if they're Belgian socialists.
