The attacker

On December 13, 2011, a murder–suicide attack took place in the city of Liège in the Wallonia region of Belgium.[3]

The attacker, 33-year-old Nordine Amrani,[4][5] threw grenades and fired an FN FAL[6] rifle at civilians on Saint-Lambert Square. The attack killed six 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.

The attack occurred on the same day as the 2011 Florence shootings.
