Racial tensions were also evident last month when the whole country was transfixed by the murder of 17-year-old Joe van Holsbeeck, killed in Brussels' central train station by two assailants who were after his MP3 player. For days, witnesses told the media that the perpetrators had been youths of North African origin. But after ten days, police fingered two Poles for the murder, one of whom has fled to Poland and awaits extradition...
