    Default Attacks in Belgium.

    Breaking news. I hope all our Belgian orgahs and their families are not affected.

    There's some speculation (?) that this was some sort of escape attempt.

    According to the local news, 2 people died and 64 were wounded. One of the dead is one of the attackers, the other is a 16 year old boy, an innocent bystander.

    I also heard the rumour that it was an escape attempt. It is unclear if it was only 1 attacker (the one who died) or if there were more.

    EDIT: now they say 4 people died and that the attacker was alone. Number of wounded has gone up to 75, some of the wounded are still fighting for their lives, so death toll might go up. The attacker probably shot himself through the head. Most of the victims are youngsters in the range of 15 to 20 year old. There's still a lot unclear.

    Condolences to our Belgian friends. Where the heck did he get his hands on grenades?

    Death toll is now 5. A 17 months old child died of her wounds. Heard it on the radio this morning.

    EDIT: another child, 23 months, died of her wounds as well as a 20 year old male. Together with the other baby, two teenagers and 75 year old lady, that brings the death toll of the attack on 6 (7 if you include the attacker who committed suicide on the scene). The attackers' cleaning lady (45 years old) was also found dead; he probably killed her before he went out on his rampage. Rumour has it he also transferred a large sum of money on the bank account of his GF the day before his attack, so he probably planned it all beforehand.
