Brussels: Just Another Day in Anderlecht

Anderlecht is a heavily Muslim district in Brussels that has seen more than its share of trouble.  We posted a story out of that district just recently as you can see below:

In the below story, police were trying to make an arrest sometime last month when the local mob came out to try and stop it all with cries of, "Allah Akhbar". The below article is from today's La Libre, French-language news outlet in Belgium. Translation by Fousesquawk. There are two videos in the below link, one of which can be seen below without opening the link.

Violence against police in Anderlecht: New images released

A case has been opened by the Brussels Prosecutor following Thursday's release by the SLFP (Free Union of Public Function) of a video showing violence against police during an arrest on the Chausee de Mons in Anderlecht.

This Friday, the Liberal union shared a new video on its Facebook page. There is seen the same intervention, the same facts, but from a different angle with this commentary: "The SLFP Police will assist the justice system in quickly identifying the perpetrators of violence against our colleagues in Anderlecht."

From the images, which will be "given to local police and the Public Ministry", one can see the faces of two men  hitting the police. An investigation  into the blows and deliberate injuries  has been opened by the Brussels Prosecutor  with the aim of identifying the suspects.
