An explosion hit a synagogue in the Belgian city of Liège early on Monday in what authorities said was an antisemitic attack that caused damage but no injuries.
The explosion, which happened around 4 a.m. (11 p.m. Sunday ET), blew out the windows of the synagogue, as well as those of a building on the opposite side of the road, public broadcaster RTBF said.
The cause was not clear, but prosecutors said the case had been passed to federal authorities, which normally investigate incidents linked to terrorism or organized crime.
Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin called the explosion “a despicable antisemitic act that directly targeted the Jewish community of Belgium”.
