Leader of Arab group faces charges

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The detained leader of an Arab group was accused Friday of inciting racial riots in Antwerp following the killing of a teacher of Moroccan descent.

Dyab Abou Jahjah, head of the Arab European League, will remain in jail over the weekend and face a hearing on Tuesday.

The government said Abou Jahjah, 31, had already been under an investigation before the riots, which started last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, about 3,000 people attended the funeral Friday for 27-year-old Mohammed Achrak, who was gunned down by a pensioner on Tuesday.

Achrak's brother, Satif, pleaded for calm. "We are all angered by what has happened ... but we don't need any more victims," he said.
