Liege attack: Gunman kills four in Belgium

Eyewitness Greg Ienco: "We saw the explosions and the panic, it was quite incredible"

A gunman has opened fire in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege, killing at least four people and wounding 123.

The man also threw grenades into a crowded square from a rooftop before killing himself, reports say.

He was named as Nordine Amrani, aged 33. He was known to police for firearms offences. Officials said the attacker acted alone, ruling out terrorism. I don't know what his motives were, but things could get uncomfortable in Belgium...

As for killing himself with a grenade... I dunno, it's a little too convenient? But maybe I'm starting to think like bro Pawlak...

The dire provocation is very much present around us. We have to get that first in no uncertain terms and convince ourselves that the reality is in deed stark. After that the trick is not to lapse into the attitude you have mentioned. It is easy to say but difficult to implement. Allah(SWT) in His wisdom has chosen us to go through this. Of course we are weak and incompetent but Allah(SWT)'s decision in this world is not according to our means-it is in the hereafter that we'll not be asked to produce evidence for going beyond our capabilities. Of course my two cents only.

Opinion: Some thoughts on the attack in Liege

Earlier today Nordine Amrani, a 32-year old Moroccan, committed an attack in the center of Liege. Amrani threw grenades at a bus-stop, and then started firing with a revolver.

Belgian police have ruled out links to terrorists (ie, Jihadism). Isn't it Islamophobic to equate terrorism with Muslims? This was certainly a terror attack. Belgian newspapers are speculating that Amrani wanted revenge against the justice system. But bottom line - he didn't attack the justice system. He didn't attack policemen or judges or lawyers. He attacked Belgian civilians. A group of teenagers standing at a bus-stop. The casualties include an elderly lady and a baby.

From Amrani's point of view, he was taking revenge against Belgians. Though it seems that one of the casualties of his attack, Medhi Nathan Belhadj (15), is also Moroccan. Belhadj wasn't killed for being Moroccan, he was killed for standing with other Belgians in a Belgian bus-stop. Source : Here
