Belgium army base car attack: 'Terrorism not the motive'
26 October 2015 Europe
Belgium has said there are no signs that terrorism was the motive behind an attack on army barracks near the city of Namur.
Belgian police have arrested a suspect after a masked gunman tried to crash his car through the gates of the army barracks.
The man drove off after the attempted attack, during which Belgian soldiers fired shots. No-one was hurt.

"For the moment there are no elements which would allow us to say we are facing a terrorist examination," a spokesman for prosecutors in Namur told a press conference.
"The theory of an isolated incident or one of a psychologically unstable person cannot be ruled out," he said.
