Belgium - Fire bomb attack at the Reda Mosque

An axe-wielding arsonist burst into a Shiite Belgian mosque Monday, killing the imam and destroying much of the building in an attack local Muslims tipped as the work of Sunni extremists. Officials said the Reda mosque "had already been placed under police protection several years ago," citing direct threats from members of the ultra-conservative Salafist movement.
