More info added to the page:

They say several men threw explosives and grenades in a crowd at a bus stop.

Some reports say one of the attackers is among the dead. The area has been sealed off.

No group has said it carried out the attack.

Hope the death/injury toll is minimal

Sad times.

Earlier their was a bomb alert in the court room yesterday where sadia sheikh's parents were sentenced #Liege #Belgium

more rumors “@cedricpt: RT @Karachi_Post: Explosion in #Liege city could be related to honor killing sentence of pakistani family

Seems shots were fired too after a quick glance at Twitter

Sad times.

If you did understand how they think then I'd be worried. These type of people seem to think on a level that nobody can comprehend.

On Sky News at the moment. Looks like an attack at a bus station.

If this is Pakistan related then I can see Pakistan being invaded in 2012. Hub of terrorism.

Because the US and UK are so innocent? We've never funded any coups or sent in 'Special Advisers'?

You reap what you sow.

Tool post award of the day.

Unless the Pakistani government itself is involved in terrorism I hardly think anyone would invade it do you ?

Maybe someone should invade America because someone shoots up a university every so often. wow.

Anyway, bad times in Belgium. I hope its not going to carry on as it doesnt look like anyones been caught...
