LIEGE, Belgium — The body of a woman has been found in the garage of a grenade-lobbing gunman, bringing to four the number of people killed in an attack in the city of Liege, officials said Wednesday.
Liege Prosecutor Daniele Reynders said the body of a woman in her forties was discovered during a search of Nordine Amrani’s property, and that she was killed before the murderous spree at Liege’s main square which also left 123 people injured.

Officials said he left his Liege home with a backpack, armed with hand grenades, a revolver and an FAL assault rifle.
He walked alone to a busy downtown square, then got onto a platform that gave him an ideal view of the area below, which was bedecked with a huge Christmas tree and crowded with shoppers.
From there, he lobbed three hand grenades toward a nearby bus shelter, which serves 1,800 buses a day — the explosions sending shards of glass from the shelter across a wide area. He then opened fire upon the crowd.
As soon as the shooting began, hundreds fled the square as well as a nearby Christmas market. Video from the scene showed the crowds, including a large group of children.

"Police know no motive for the attack, but stressed that Amrani had no known links to terrorism or any history of mental illness or violent crime. But it did emerge that he was released on parole last year from a 58-month sentence for possessing weapons and 2,800 cannabis plants"..."In 2008, Amrani was jailed for illegal possession of 10 firearms, 9,500 "gun parts" and 2,800 cannabis plants but was granted parole last year. He also had convictions for pimping and trafficking stolen goods. A weapons aficionado, he was said to be able to dismantle, repair and put together all sorts of weapons."...not to mention Amrani had quite the talent for acquiring illegal weaponry unnoticed. Notice how the article also states: "Police know no motive?" Perhaps this RTL.be video clip illustrates a hint. In this raw video clip, frightened people are seen fleeing an area running towards the camerman. At approx. six seconds into the video, listen carefully to hear a strong male voice in the background. Do you hear what I hear? . . .
"allah. . ."?
Small penis syndrome
This line “He killed six people, including himself, and seriously injured 125 others yesterday lunchtime. It came shortly after he tried to rape a 45-year-old woman in his flat,” makes it appear he attempted to rape a woman just prior to the shooting.
Other accounts make it seem the “vice” issue (in which he was called to the station about) happened at a previous party.
LPS syndrome, probably attended one of the LPS Saudi funded madrassas.
Making a pretty big assumption there that he was muslim. I mean, did the MSM report anywhere at all that this scumbag was muslim? Amrani could be a good old-line Belgian name we just never heard of. In his picture he looks like a south Belgian to me, way, way south. Don’t go jumping to conclusions there buddy, I’m sure his parish priest will shortly be expressing surprise this former altar boy lost his mind. I’m really sure of that. /s
Agreed. Prior sexual assault was what he was summoned for (actions at a party)
Separate incident is woman they just found dead in his shed.
I was referencing the comment that he began his shooting rampage shortly after a rape attempt which may be a third attack on yet another woman, or possibly referring to a sexual assault on the woman whose body they found in the shed.
Looks Amish to me, but he may be part of the Quaker terrorist group. /Sarcasm
Since he's dead, can I have the FAL?
Political correctness will get us all killed in the end.
With an illegal alien under each arm...
