| Belgium: Arsonists target cars again, |
| 2005-11-10 |
| Some 15 vehicles were damaged by fire overnight in five Belgian cities, but the national crisis centre ruled out speculation of heightened tension or unrest. It said cars were torched in Antwerp, Brussels, Lokeren, Mechelen and Ledeberg, but that the arson attacks were isolated incidents, newspaper 'De Tijd' reported on Wednesday. The arson attacks represented, however, the fourth consecutive night of unrest in Belgium and several suspects were arrested in various cities. Rest at link. |

| #12 Cars make prettier fires than horse-drawn wagons. Its an aesthetic thing -- you Westerners wouldn't understand. ;-) |

| #8 Cars are not eighth century enough for them. I suppose if one were to cover his car with a car burka, it would be safe. |

| #4 I think what we have here is a secret plot to drive the insurance companies out of business. Those crafty muzzies are going to drive the cost of operating a car into the too expensive to do bracket. But then the muzzie just might have united with the enviro terrorists after all. Won't be long and they will run the socialist and green parties, we'll call it the "aluminum hat party". |

| #2 Maybe this is an innovative EU initiative to curb pollution by removing private car transportation emissions, after the initial smoke clears. |
