Media.. oh media... you are so silly!!!

"Shouting in Arabic" is a silly thing to report when the guy shouted "Allahu Akbar"

He is an ISLAMIC TERRORIST... not some random "Arab-speaker" :roll

I was just about to post this. :( Wounds to the face does not sound good.

They certainly are cowards going after two female police (and killing the American woman the other night in France). But then -- they kill children and elderly without even blinking, too.

Here ya go. End of story.

7 Aug 2016
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a machete attack that wounded two police officers in the Belgian city of Charleroi, calling it an act of reprisal carried out by one of its “soldiers”.

Belgian prosecutors identified the assailant as a 33-year-old Algerian known to police for criminal offences, but not for extremism.

The attack on Saturday afternoon is being treated as a terrorist incident, notably because the man shouted “Allahu akbar” – Arabic for “God is great” – as he slashed at the officers outside Charleroi’s main police station, prime minister Charles Michel said.
