Belgium probes synagogue blast as mayor slams ‘antisemitic’ act

.NETWORKelboligrafo-europaBelgium probes synagogue blast as mayor slams 'antisemitic' act

The Belgian federal prosecutors’ office in charge of organised crime and terrorism said it will probe a blast that damaged a synagogue on Monday in eastern Belgium, with the local mayor denouncing an “antisemitic act”.

“This is all intentional and targeted. We condemn this antisemitic act as strongly as possible,” Willy Demeyer, the mayor of Liege, where the synagogue is located, told public broadcaster RTBF.“We cannot allow foreign conflicts to be imported into our city,” he said of the early morning blast, which caused no injuries.

The explosion took place around 4:00 am in front of the synagogue, blowing out the windows of the buildings across the road, a police spokesman said, adding there was “only material damage”.

A security perimeter was erected, and the federal police were expected at the scene, according to RTBF.

Built in 1899, the synagogue also serves as a museum for the history of Liege’s Jewish community, according to the temple’s website.
