On 13 December 2011, a murder–suicide attack took place in the city of Liège in the Wallonia region of Belgium.
The attacker, 33-year-old Nordine Amrani, threw grenades and fired an FN FAL rifle at civilians on the Place Saint-Lambert, the city's main square. The attack killed five and left one hundred and forty seven others injured, seven seriously. Amrani then killed himself with a revolver. Earlier that day, he had also murdered a woman in his house.
The attack occurred on the same day and at the same hour as the 2011 Florence shootings. There is no indication that the attacks were coordinated.
