Norman Kabir tells The Associated Press that the man was sitting at a bus stop Friday in the Brussels district of Schaerbeek with a young girl. He says police took the girl into safe custody. Kabir says police asked the man “to put the bag far from him” and that’s what he did, but police shot him twice, apparently in the leg.
Belgian state broadcaster RTBF says police apparently feared there were explosives in the man’s bag.
Kabir says “I was very shocked … this part of Brussels is very quiet.”
Belgian prosecutors say three people have been detained in counterterrorism raids Friday in Brussels, and two of them were shot in the leg, including one person in Schaerbeek.
Will the UN now demand justice for the alleged terrorist here as they did in Chevron for the one who had already stabbed a soldier? What hypocrisy!
Did they have to shoot him that should use restraint
This shooting is a totally disproportionate response that deserves a UN Security Council investigation and sanctions !!!! דמד
