BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian prosecutors are investigating whether a knife attack on a policeman in central Brussels on Tuesday was inspired by Islamist radicalism after witnesses said the assailant shouted "Allahu akbar".
The attacker stabbed the officer outside the city's main police station at around 5.30 a.m. (0430 GMT), a police spokeswoman said. He was then shot and wounded by another officer, she added.
