(EPA photo)LIEGE, Belgium: Belgian police were Wednesday investigating how a gunman known for contacts with Islamist extremists came to launch a brazen suspected terror attack, shooting dead two female officers with their own weapons before killing a bystander. Amateur footage obtained by AFP showed the gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" (Arabic for "God is greatest") as he walked through the Liege streets during the rampage. Investigators on Tuesday found the hammer in Herman's car and Jambon said police believed the Liege attacker carried out the killing just hours after getting temporary release from prison. "I feel responsible because I have responsibility for prisons," Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens told RTBF radio.
