Belgium [muslim] grenade attack leaves at least two dead

At least one person was killed and up to 47 others wounded Tuesday when up to four grenades exploded outside the main courthouse in the eastern Belgian city of Liege. 13 Dec 2011

The attack took place around noon on Saint-Lambert square, home to the town's courthouse and located near a busy Christmas market, Belga news agency said.

A two-year-old child is reportedly fighting for life in hospital. Six other victims are said to be gravely injured.

One of two or more assailants threw stun grenades into the courthouse while another was hurled at a bus shelter, RTL-TV1 said.

Shots were fired across the square by gunmen posted on the rooftop of a bakery shop, with further shots heard later from across town.

Police cordoned off the square and gave chase to the assailants, one of whom was reportedly killed. The gunmen are thought to be hiding in Liege cathedral.

The Karachi Post in Pakistan claimed that the attack was linked to a sentence in an honour killing case. It said the parents of Sadia Sheikh were sentenced on Monday when there had been a bomb alert in the court.

Gaspard Grosjean, a journalist for La Meuse Liege on the scene, told The Daily Telegraph there was panic and confusion on the streets of Liege.

"There is at least one dead and the attacker. Police are looking for another shooter. There are lots of ambulances and many casualties - at least 10 people.

"At the moment you can't move in the city centre. People are crying and in shock - they do not know what is going on. Everyone has been told to stay inside and are hiding in shops."

Local bus operator TEC said that its buses were no longer able to enter the city centre. A museum located on the square said it had taken in injured people.

"As we are very close and we have an open space where you can enter and leave with no problem. I can say there were injured, but don't ask me if it's five, seven, eight or nine. I don't know," said Archeoforum director Jean-Jacques Messiaen.

Police were not immediately contactable to confirm the toll or events.

You are correct-------

"Excellent points and questions. When illegals are given a "legal status," the next step for Democrats and RINOs at that point is to say, "Wait. This isn't right either. They are being taxed, but they're not allowed to vote? Taxation without representation! Make them full citizens now and correct this grave social injustice!"

My Comments:

Yes this is bizarre ----of course the next rapid move would be to immediately become citizens. That's what the Boston Tea Party was all about---------"Taxation Without Representation".

I would love to see a candidate for election who will firmly take this issue in hand and do what the American people who are voters and citizens want. Gingrich has his problem on this as does Huntsman. Both need to take a second and third look at the question of legal and illegal immigration.

The one comment Huntsman made in one of the early debates revealed his global bent that was to have foreign investors buy properties in America. In other words sell America to the foreigners.

Do we want terrorists from the mid-East buying up our properties------do we want people who behead women for alleged sorcery as has been done according to what I have read in Saudi Arabia-----investing from a distance and some living next door?

And, my last and most important question--------------Do we want people who are illegals working for the Federal Government, the State Government, the local Government or organizations such as Fannie and Freddie or the banks? Do we want illegals in positions that control how Americans buy and sell and live their lives?
