\n Belgian identity cards have been printed with spelling mistakes in a bid
\n to fool forgers.<\/p>\n
The identity cards include the country name in the three official Belgian
\n languages of French, German and Dutch as well as English.<\/p>\n

\n the cards, other errors will be printed on the card to further confound
\n fraudsters.<\/p>\n
He said a similar system had proved successful in the United States.<\/p>\n
