IS demands knife attack in Brussels

- Islamic State claimed the attack on military friday in Brussels on Friday. They do that through their own press office Amaq.

The man from Somalia was on Friday night with the knife in his hands to the soldiers on the Émile Jacqmain Avenue, on the edge of the Brussels center, not far from the famous Grote Markt. Two soldiers became light-wounded.

The perpetrator called twice 'Allahu Akbar'. The man also had a counterfeit weapon and two coranans. He was shot down and died in a hospital.

His house in Bruges was searched for Friday night on Friday. In the interests of the investigation, the justice did not want to say what the search had accomplished.

Justice treats it as a terrorist act. The mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, previously stated that it is an isolated act of a single individual. That seems to be different now.
