A machete-wielding man shouting “Allahu akbar” (God is the greatest) wounded two policewomen in southern Belgium on August 6 before being shot dead, in what appeared to be the latest in a string of jihadist attacks in Europe. The attack outside the main police station in the city of Charleroi, around 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of Brussels, left one of the policewomen with “deep wounds to the face” while the other was slightly injured, Belga news agency said.
