Brussels: A Belgian judge has opened an investigation under the category of an "attempted terrorist murder" against a fugitive soldier with extreme right-wing views, the federal prosecutor’s office said Friday. Officials said that 46-year-old weapons instructor Jurgen Conings, who remains on the run and is considered armed and dangerous, had lurked for two hours on Monday near the home of a potential target for assassination.
