EU nation deploys military to protect Jewish sites

Belgium has deployed the military to protect Jewish sites in major cities around the country, Defense Minister Theo Francken has said.

The Belgian authorities announced last week that the armed forces will begin helping the police to guard Jewish places of worship and educational institutions in the capital Brussels, as well as in Antwerp and Liege.
