Belgium in chaos as PM quits over burqa

THE collapse of the Belgian coalition government has prevented the country's parliament from voting in Europe's first ban on wearing the Islamic burqa in public.

Prime Minister Yves Leterme offered to quit after the coalition broke down, throwing the country's political institutions into turmoil.

Parliamentary party heads then announced that the chamber "has decided there won't be a plenary session," while the Belgian king consults with leaders over the next step.

Belgium's King Albert II was considering whether to accept Leterme's resignation, making the burqa ban vote an early casualty of the political turmoil.
