Bombings in Brussels: What is known about the attack on the airport of Zaventem

BRUXELLES, MARCH 22 –14 dead and hundreds injuredCommitted in Brussels “in which several French were injured Tuesday”, learned Belga .The opening of this investigation by the French justice responds to a conventional procedure, due to the presence of eight French wounded, three seriously among the victims of Brussels. Who is responsible for these murderous operations? From the first minutes, the scars of attacks left little room for doubt … The Islamic State has been quick to assert the facts on the official website of the terrorist organization. A claim ”  to be verified and at this stage it is not possible to establish a link with Paris bombings “has tempered the prosecutor Van Leeuw. Still, the timing suggests that terrorists who struck Tuesday in Brussels could belong to the same “band” as that caused death in Paris on 13 November. Especially due to the fact that during the operation conducted last Tuesday in the apartment in the Rue du Dries in Forest (operation during which a suspect, identified as Mohamed Belkaid, alias Samir Bouzid, was shot), the police had got hold of weapons and detonators. Three days later, we know, Salah Abdeslam was located rue des Quatre-Vents in Molenbeek and captured by the services of the antiterrorist brigade. Of course, the names of Mohamed Najim Abrini and Laachraoui were mentioned several times during the day. The two men are also actively sought. Abrini, we know, was used driver in Salah Abdeslam few days before the attacks in Paris. As for Laachraoui Najim, aka Soufiane Kayal, it would be one of the bomb disposal Daesh. But at this stage of the investigation, their involvement in the events of that Tuesday is not proven.

Grosse preparation

It would also be premature to say that the attacks on Tuesday were committed in retaliation for the arrest of Salah Abdeslam. Indeed, it seems hardly conceivable that such coordinated actions have been organized in the space of a few days. Would that logistically, they require a lot of preparation, as we have learned the attacks in Paris. By late evening, we finally learned that German police arrested three Kosovars traveling in a vehicle registered in Belgium and could be linked to a terrorist network. Links between these people and Brussels attacks have not been established but an investigation was opened for “suspicion of preparing a serious criminal act against a state.”remains of victims throughout the morning. © Photo News / Thierry Monasse © Photo News / Thierry Monasse
