Brussels Airport Police extremely hard in condemning Airport leadership: "Huge flaws in security"

Brussels Airport Police extremely hard in condemning Airport leadership: "Huge flaws in security". (HLN)[Googletranslated].

Some members of Policing, the federal police department in charge at the airport involved in airport security such as the handling of complaints and declaration of crimes, conducting patrols and protection orders, expressed concern in an open letter. "Every police officer in any police force whatsoever at Zaventem airport knew this day would ever take place", he says in the letter, "a cry for help for airport security they way it should be for the protection of an international airport anno 2016 ".

According to the agents, inspectors and chief inspectors give daily powerful signals about the unsafe conditions at the airport, but their proposals are ignored.

Examples to be cited are the fact that the four levels of the terminal building (train, bus, arrival and departure) are freely accessible to everyone and that before the central body search, there is no security of passengers or luggage. "This open airport policy have long been overtaken in other countries and is the example of the fundamental insecurity at Zaventem airport, "it sounds. They argue for checks on people entering the airport building and want no more passenger cars in a radius of hundreds of meters around the building.

Through open infrastructure terrorists could easily send out scouts to assess the situation "of the security screen to plan the terror attack," it reads further in the letter. Following identity checks on passengers and dubious passersby several information reports were prepared for the service terrorism.

Furthermore,  letter writers complain about numerous incidents involving the homeless, which impede the operation, staff shortages and "abominable infrastructure", which, for example photos and fingerprints can not simultaneously be processed.

Finally, the agents draw attention to the relatively large proportion of workers at the airport ANG known for one or more ( heavy) criminal offenses. Code red is mainly the criminal records of staff working in the triage - and baggage halls at tarmac level.

This fact is a result of policies conducted in the past: "progressive" politics activation policies, affirmative action for certain minorities. The fact that these individuals work and may continue to operate at extremely security-sensitive locations in and around the airport in the year 2016 is hallucinatory

They "tie the cat to the bacon" it sounds. It calls for the active monitoring of known 'problem' personnel in safety sensitive areas of the airport, a more stringent screening of badges and dismissal of persons already 'monitored' on terrorism. Read the full story here. (Dutch).

Brussels attacks: 'Fight the westerners' text sent to youths in Molenbeek

Brussels attacks: 'Fight the westerners' text sent to youths in Molenbeek . (Guardian).

Messages, feared to be from Isis recruiters, sent on Sunday after video online apparently showed young people celebrating attacks.

Young men in the Molenbeek district of Brussels were sent messages over the weekend calling on them to “make the right choice” and “fight the westerners”.

The texts were sent on Sunday night from a prepaid account that could not be traced or replied to. It followed a video distributed on Facebook, since removed, apparently showing local youths celebrating the attacks in Brussels last week. The death toll from the bombings has risen to 35, Belgium’s health minister said on Monday.


The short SMS message written in French, which the Guardian has seen, says: “My brother, why not fight the westerners? Make the right choice in your life.”

Jamal Ikazban, the local Socialist party MP, told the Guardian that the communications were stoking tensions in the community. “These people are trying to take our youth by storm,” he said.

“It is like having a big-time drug dealer outside the school gates. We feel the same. They have to be taken off the streets. They are predators and our youths are the victims.”


For jihadis to be brazen enough to put out propaganda during a police crackdown after the attacks was “cheeky”, Ikazban said. Read the full story here.

Police found fingerprints of Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam in a Brussels apartment raided earlier in the week, Belgian prosecutors said on Friday.

"We can confirm that fingerprints of Salah Abdeslam were found in the apartment in (the Brussels district of) Forest," spokesman for federal prosecutors Eric Van Der Sypt told AFP, refusing to add further details.At the moment it is not clear if he was actually there last Tuesday.

Belgium's RTBF television said that it was "more than likely" that Abdeslam was one of two suspects who fled the apartment after the raid, but it was not confirmed by Belgian authorities.

The firefight on Tuesday, in which an Algerian national with suspected ties to Islamic State group was killed, erupted after Belgian and French police searched a property in connection with the November 13 Paris massacres, claimed by IS that killed 130 people.

The officers visited the apartment believing it was rented under the same false identity as a hideout in the southern Belgian city of Charleroi used by the Paris attackers.

Abdeslam, 26, who is believed to have played a key logistical role in the attacks, fled across the border to Belgium hours after the November 13 killings and is now one of the most wanted men in Europe.

Islamic state sympathizer in internship at Brussels police top: "He asked too many unhealthy questions ". (HLN)[Googletranslate].

The federal police have put an intern at the headquarters in Brussels on non-active because on his Facebook profile he sympathized with Islamic State.

At that time he already had two days access to the private data of high-ranking officers.

Bilal EB (22) from Ixelles took during his internship at the IT department of the police headquarters (RAC) - the new headquarters of the federal police in Brussels - a whole series of pictures of his heavily guarded workplace.

According to his colleagues, he also asked "too many unhealthy questions" about the weapons in the police building.

Once the Belgian of Moroccan origin even tried to get in at the office of police chief Catherine De Bolle. "That was just to go with her ​​in the picture," he claimed.

Gert Cockx police union NSPV complains about the lack of screening. "Even those who only have a few hours access to our buildings should be thoroughly verified."

This incident shows that an incomplete check can mean a direct risk to police officers and their families." 

The federal police soothes and says that no evidence was found that Bilal EB copied confidential information of top executives . "But they have no evidence that he has not done it," said an officer. Hmmmm......How many of the 'sleepers' are there among us?

Belgium the 'hotbed' for terrorists? Belgian arms dealer confesses to supplying Charlie Hebdo attackers

Belgium the 'hotbed' for terrorists? Belgian arms dealer confesses to supplying Charlie Hebdo attackers. (Haaretz).

The terrorists who perpetrated the attacks in Paris last week got their weapons from an arms dealer in Brussels.

The dealer, a known figure in Brussels’ underworld, turned himself in to local police on Tuesday, according to Belgian media.

Federal police, who searched the suspect’s apartment, found papers linking him to a transaction with Amedy Coulibaly, the jihadist who murdered four Jewish men and held others hostage at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in east Paris on Friday.

According to the local press, the man sold Coulibaly the Skorpion submachine guns he used in the attack, as well as the rocket propelled grenade launcher and the Kalashnikov automatic assault rifles that Said and Cherif Kouachi used to perpetrate the massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo. The weapons were purchased near the Midi railway station in downtown Brussels for less than 5,000 euros, according to the reports.

French media reports Wednesday morning said that the funding for the arms purchase was simply a standard loan of 6,000 euros ($7,050) that Coulibaly took out on December 4 from the French financial-services firm Cofidis. He used his real name but falsely stated his monthly income on the loan declaration, a statement the company didn't bother to check, the reports say.

The suspect, a known arms smuggler and dealer in the underworld, from the town of Charleroi, turned himself in on Tuesday to the Charleroi police and asked to confess to supplying the weapons.

He told police that a few months ago Coulibaly had initiated contact with him, seeking to buy a car. The man said that once he realized that Coulibaly was a jihadist terrorist, he feared that the detectives would reach him because of the link between them. Hmmmm......If you look at the numbers Belgium is the 'hotbed' for would be jihadis, considering the small population of the country. Read the full story here.

Taking in account the small seize and small population of Belgium  (11,14 million), it's obvious it's a 'hotbed' for Islamist Domestic terrorists

"Belgistan" Hotbed for Jihadis, 270 Belgians in the ranks of the Islamic State.

"Belgistan" - 270 Belgians in the ranks of the Islamic State. HT: EmmeJihad.

The number of Belgians in the ranks of the Islamic State can be as high as 270. That’s the estimate I published yesterday in the newspaper ‘Het Laatste Nieuws’, showing two of the most recent recruits.

The estimate of 270 compatriots within the Islamic State is based upon the database of Belgian fighters in Syria that arabist Pieter Van Ostaeyen and I maintain using several open sources. It has to be stressed that the number is an extrapolation, since we do not know for sure the affiliation of all 385 entries already on our list.

We do have that information for 72 of the Belgian fighters, and identified 50 as members of IS. What means that in this sample, the share of the Islamic State amounts to almost 70 percent. Details about the others can be found at Pieter’s blog. The ratio can be different in the total figure of course, but seemingly there are no reasons to assume that difference is significant. So it’s fair to say that the Belgian presence within IS can amount to 270.

In the meantime, new images emerged of two Belgians who traveled to Syria last June to join IS. They already posted pictures on Facebook from halfway in Turkey, but these are the first that show them in Syria — more precisely Deir ez-Zor. The guy wearing sunglasses is Olivier Calebout (27), also known as Abu Sayfudeen, while the Dolce & Gabbana adept is Lucas Van Hessche (19), who was born in Haiti and adopted at young age by a Belgian couple.

Van Hessche was an amateur boxer who converted recently to islam. He and Calebout went to Syria with Abdelmalek Boutalliss (19) — alias Abu Nusaybah — a Belgian of Moroccan origin. Al three lived in the western city of Kortrijk, where Calebout reportedly was known by the police as a possible recruiter for jihad. The fathers of Boutalliss and Van Hessche traveled to Syria themselves already to bring their sons home, but apparently they failed.

  Hmmm.....I think it's save to say considering the small seize of Belgium, that the place is a hotbed for Islamic extremists.
