The attack on is being treated as a terrorist incident, because the man shouted "Allahu akbar!" -- Arabic for "God is great" -- as he slashed at the two women officers outside Charleroi's main police station, Prime Minister Charles Michel said. Both police officers were “severely injured in the face and neck”, the federal prosecutors’ statement said.
