Right-wing groups have clashed with people paying their respects to victims of Tuesday's attacks in Brussels. Riot police used water cannon to disperse the anti-immigrant protesters.
Riot police backed by water cannon vehicles were called to the Place de la Bourse-Beursplein in the center of the Belgian capital, Brussels, on Sunday to keep right-wing groups away from demonstrators wanting to show solidarity following the deadly attacks on Tuesday.
Black-clad protesters shouting slogans against immigrants and the jihadist "Islamic State" group faced off with police in front of the city's stock exchange building, where a group of other demonstrators had gathered to mourn the victims of the attacks.
