Brussels Jewish museum reopens after killings
BRUSSELS - The Jewish Museum of Belgium, where four people were slain in May by an intruder with a Kalashnikov, is reopening this weekend for the first time since the killings.
The armed assault in a busy and upscale district of Brussels fueled fears of rising anti-Semitism and violent Islamic extremism in Europe.
Cige Norbert, secretary general of the museum, said Tuesday the decision to reopen effective Sunday is meant as a statement.
He said it "proves that those who tried to put us to silence, well, that objective has failed."
