Panic: Shoppers flee after a gunman threw grenades into crowds of shoppers
at a Christmas market in Liege, Belgium.

 

 

On 13 December 2011, a murder–suicide attack took place in the city of Liège
in the Wallonia region of Belgium.

 

 

The attacker, 33-year-old Nordine Amrani, threw grenades and fired an FN FAL rifle at civilians on
Saint-Lambert Square. The attack killed five and left 125 others injured; seven of whom suffered
serious injuries. Amrani then committed suicide by shooting himself with a revolver.
Earlier that day, he had also murdered a woman in his house.
