Belgian army base 'attacked'

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34637297

"Shots were fired by Belgian soldiers after a masked man rammed a car into the gates of a paratrooper barracks.

The attacker then fled in his car, which has been found abandoned in the nearby town of Belgrade. It is unclear what the attacker's motives were.

Prosecutors say that were no injuries in the attack, near the city of Namur in the south of the country.

"No-one was hurt, it seems. The man is on the run," a spokesman for Belgian prosecutors told the Reuters news agency.

"If I look at it from an outsider's point of view, it seems incomprehensible," he added. "Why would you attack a military barracks? There are plenty of weapons there to strike back."...."

Well, they've got the car so it shouldn't be too long before we find out who he is - Inshallah.

Different Belgrade. This is a small village in Belgium, not the capital of Serbia.

Belgium army base car attack: 'Terrorism not the motive'

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34637297

"Belgium has said there are no signs that terrorism was the motive behind an attack on army barracks near the city of Namur.

Belgian police have arrested a suspect after a masked gunman tried to crash his car through the gates of the army barracks.

The man drove off after the attempted attack, during which Belgian soldiers fired shots. No-one was hurt.

The attack happened in Flawinne, south-east of Brussels...."

That was fast - they got him but haven't released his name.

They gotta wait for the video, that started the riot (or was his motivation), to come out ...
