Courtrai - Molotov cocktail in courthouse

COURTRAI - During the day, a man entered the courthouse of Courtrai and threw a molotov cocktail to the door of the office of a judge. The judge, inside, saw the smoke and managed to escape. The molotov caused quite some material damage, the whole courthouse had to be evicted.

A few days later, a 60 years old man was arrested and confessed the attack. He said he acted out of hate for the police, the justice and society. Media says the man has psychological problems, because he is an ex-police officer of a small village in Flanders (sic).
