Belgium: Vlaams Belang accused of murder

1200 people protested in Brussels next to the Vlaams Belang party headquarters, paying tribute to the victims of Thursday's shooting, in which 18 year old Hans Van Themsche went on a shooting spree against immigrants and foreigners. The protesters were mostly French speaking. No permission for the protest was requested.

Diop Alioune, chairman of the Sengalese Union of Brussels, accused Vlaams Belang of being "indirectly responsible" for the attack. "This 18 year old kid is a product of Vlaams Belang. He was brought up in a family where hate was admitted." This alluding to the fact that the murderer's aunt is a parliament member of Vlaams Belang.
