The violence that broke out late Saturday in central Brussels after the qualification of the Moroccan national football team for the next World Cup injured 22 police officers, police told Belga news agency. Riot police were sent out to control a crowd of about 300 people after the final whistle. “Unacceptable aggression in the centre of Brussels — living together means respect, also for the police who are committed to our safety day and night,” Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said on his twitter account yesterday.
