Brussels - Two police stations and car dealership attacked

BRUSSELS - In Anderlecht, two police stations have been attacked these last weeks. With police refusing to comment such events in a 'highly sensible area', only now some information came out. One police station, the biggest of Anderlecht and permanently opened and manned, was attacked with a "carabine à plombs". The bullets smashed twenty windows of the station. No police officer got hurt. The same night, a grenade was hurled against the show room of a car dealership in Anderlecht. Later on that week, another police station was attacked with stones. The only comment of the police was "at least we saw that there were not more car arsons than usual." Journalists says the increase of this violence could be linked to a big police operation in Anderlecht a few weeks ago.
