I wonder what mosque he went to?
Belgian soldiers have shot dead a man in the centre of Brussels after he came at them with a knife shouting Allahu Akbar (God is great), in a case authorities are treating as a terrorist attack.The man, a 30-year-old Belgian of Somali origin, died after being rushed to hospital.
The soldiers were not seriously hurt in the attack; one had a facial wound and the other's hand was wounded.
Prosecutors said the man, who was not known for terrorist activities, had twice shouted Allahu Akbar during the attack, which occurred at about 8:15pm on Friday night (local time) just outside the city's central pedestrian zone while the soldiers were on patrol.
Spokeswoman Esther Natus of the federal prosecutor's office declined to identify the man or confirm whether he was known to police, saying only that "the suspect is dead".
"We do consider it a terror attack," Ms Natus said.
Belgium's anti-terror crisis centre also said in a tweet that the soldiers had "neutralised" the man and the "situation is under control".
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel tweeted: "All our support is with our soldiers. Our security services remain on alert. We are following the situation closely."
A man who lives near where the incident took place on Boulevard Emile Jacquemain said he saw the attacker lying in the street in the aftermath.
"I live right in front of the station. It was already blocked by police at the scene and there was a man lying on the ground. The police said he had been shot by soldiers," said Thomas da Silva Rosa, a public affairs consultant.
"He was lying on the ground, appeared dead."
Associated Press television images from central Brussels show police have sealed off a main street not far from the Belgian capital's main Grand Place tourist attraction.
Belgium has been on high alert since suicide bombers killed 32 people in attacks on March 22, 2016 on the Brussels main airport and subway system.
Soldiers and extra police have been deployed at public buildings and around large gatherings for more than a year.
