“Er is vandaag omstreeks 19.30 uur een terroristisch gemotiveerde aanval geweest op de Koerdische gemeenschap in Antwerpen,” aldus woordvoerder Orhan Kilic. “De Koerdische gemeenschap was aan het protesteren op het Operaplein vanwege de jihadistische aanvallen op de Koerden in Rojava, in het noorden van Syrië. Het was een goede, normale protestactie zonder incidenten of problemen. Er waren veel gezinnen, vrouwen, jongeren en kinderen aanwezig.”

"Today, about 7:30 pm, there was terrorist-motivated attack against the Kurdish community in Antwerp," said spokesperson Orhan Kilic. "The Kurdish community was protesting at Opera Square over the jihadist attacks against the Kurds in Rojava, in the north of Syria. It was a good, normal protest without incidents or problems. There were many families, women, teenagers, and children present."
On Thursday evening, Kurdish demonstrators gathered on Antwerp's Opera Square to protest the military action by the Syrian military against Kurds in Northern Syria. As the demonstration was breaking up, some people, who had apparently infiltrated the crowd, pulled knives and began stabbing demonstrators.
Six people were injured, two critically. Police were able to catch two of the suspected stabbers.
