Family of Brussels terror attack victim who was euthanized due to trauma from the assault in shock over media report

The family of one of the victims of the 2016 Brussels Airport attacks has reacted with shock to a report on “forgotten” victims, broadcast on Wednesday evening on RTBF.

A Belgian court has temporarily prohibited the Belgian government from exchanging an Iranian diplomat convicted of terrorism for a Belgian citizen being held in Iran on dubious charges of espionage.

In Belgium, Jihadists, Guns, and (Drug) Money

Molenbeek Belgium

Gunshots. Knifings. Cars being set aflame. All in broad daylight, all on the streets of Molenbeek.

Molenbeek, Belgium, you may recall, was the Brussels neighborhood that was home to almost half of the jihadists responsible for the 2015 Paris attacks and several subsequent terror attacks in Belgium. The bomber of a train at Brussels Central Station in 2017, for instance, lived in Molenbeek. Mehdi Nemmouche, who shot and killed four people at Brussels’ Jewish Museum in 2014, had previously lived in Molenbeek. The mastermind of the Paris killings, Abdelhamid Abboud, grew up and still lived in Molenbeek.

Newcomers? Conquered?

“How?” replied Nadia Naji, a politician of Molenbeek’s Green party.

“Well,” Verstraete, visibly uncomfortable, tried to explain, “more and more people with immigrant origins come to live there and claim their place. Do you feel Belgian in Molenbeek?”

A few hours after the broadcast, he apologized.

“In twenty years”, the French newspaper Le Figaro predicted about Brussels, “the European capital will be Muslim”.

But the establishment still remains closed for repair after the forced intrusion of a group of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty people who forced the access barriers to settle in this small village plot of about sixty ‘locations showing already full.

The arrival of around sixty cars registered in Belgium and Syrian families turned into a general brawl on the first night. On August 4, meeting in a crisis cell, the town council of the village decided to close the campsite, which is also a camper van Park, in the height of the tourist season. Traditional campers, often regulars, were asked to continue their holidays in more peaceful meadows.

The “Belgian Augustans” occupied the field for an additional day, threatening to camp there and demanding to be “relocated” before finally evacuating. Now it is time to clean and repair before the summer returns to lightness.

Belgium’s leading virologist is in hiding, holed up with his family in a government safe house. The reason? A right-wing Flemish soldier. Jürgen Conings disappeared from his home on May 17, leaving behind a booby-trapped car and a series of letters laying out his grievances against ‘the regime’. In a goodbye letter to his partner, Conings wrote:

‘The so-called political elite, joined now by the virologists, are deciding how you and I should live…I don’t care whether I die or not, but I will live my last days the way I want.’
