Belgium’s most violent attack in peace time left four people dead, including a 17-month-old child, and five more in intensive care in the eastern city of Liege.
The city’s prosecutor said yesterday’s suicide attack, carried out by a convicted criminal, left one young man dead at the scene and sent 124 people to local hospitals, where two more died. That brought the death toll to four, including the attacker, who shot himself. A 75-year-old woman, whom officials initially counted among the dead, is still receiving treatment, Liege prosecutor Daniele Reynders told reporters today.
