Have they recovered the piece of luggage that didn't fit in the car?

I've searched for information about this but all I've found is the information about what was found in the flat.

"A taxi driver had come forward after recognising CCTV images of the three airport suspects as men he picked up from an apartment block and dropped off at the airport, van Leeuw said, adding that police had subsequently raided the building in the Brussels district of Schaerbeek and discovered 15kg of explosives, detonators and a suitcase filled with nails and screws."

An arrest has been made for someone planning an attack. No mention in the article if this person has connections to Brussels:

"Dutch police arrested a 32-year-old Frenchman in the port city of Rotterdam on Sunday at the request of French authorities who suspect him of 'involvement in planning a terror attack,' prosecutors said."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wor...netherlands-planning-attack-article-1.2579410
 
Just seen this the security services have their hands full.

"More than 50 hardcore jihadists are suspected of planning attacks in Britain in the wake of the Paris and Brussels atrocities.

They are among 450 extremists throughout the UK. Some have returned from the conflict in Syria and others have been radicalised at home.

It is believed MI5 and counter-terror police are tracking as many as 25 serious plots in support of Islamic State or Al-Qaeda.

Investigators also fear “sleeper cells” could be awaiting orders to activate plots to cause carnage on Britain’s streets.

A former British intelligence officer said: “Everyone in the counter-terrorism community believes an attack in Britain will take place."

Dutch police arrested 4 persons in total as suspected terrorists. Besides the 32-year old Frenchman they arrested a 43 and 47 year old, both with an Algerian background. French news sources speculate that the 32-year old has some relation to Reda Kriket who was arrested thursday in France and was said to be in the final phases of planning a terroristic attack in France.

Police/personnel from the Airport Zaventem have announced that they are planning to go on strike if no further improved security measures are taken when the Airport opens on wednesday. Already before the attack, on friday 18 March, airport police announced that they wanted to go on strike if no security measures were taken. The attacks on 22 March proved the need for these attacks according to police union leader Alain Peeters. http://www.nu.nl/algemeen/4237660/personeel-brusselse-luchthaven-zaventem-dreigt-met-staking.html http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160327_02206257

I don't blame them, and I'm sure a lot of them have PTSD. Has anyone read if any of the airport workers were among the casualties or are in the hospital?

I'm sure a lot of people over there are facing daily fears when it come to riding the transit system, busses, airports.

I hope more apartment managers will check out their tenants to ensure they aren't renting out rooms for bomb making.

There was tv series (I think it was like a four parter not sure )called "sleeper Cell" that was mind blowing. Great writing, amazing performances, and rivoting as h&ll. Really learned a lot!

I have wonfered what , when all thses angencies used terms like imminate, final stages of......excacly mean . Tomm, a week, month

Aall the banter of "remain vigilant" , in these days the populaity of suicdial bomber, makes no sense to me.

I dont even think "aware" these days happen with all the cell phone siliiness!


How onee earth can anyone know that another being has bombs taped to his belly?

Another day , a different country , but the same evil

A bomb ripped through a public park packed with families celebrating Easter in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Sunday evening, killing at least 70 people and wounding more than 300 others, most of them women and children, officials said.

A suicide bomber set off an explosive vest packed with ball bearings in a parking lot just feet away from amusement park rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, located in a mostly residential neighborhood of western Lahore.

Police has released a video showing the third suspect in the Zaventem Airport, the one with the head. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160328_02206457 They want to identify this man. Media speculate that this is the arrested Fayçal Cheffou, however this is not yet confirmed by the police (and the fact that they send out this video asking for identification would make me think this is not the case).

The number of deceased has risen to 35 with another person dying in the hospital from his wounds. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160328_02206409

Why on earth are the other two faces blurred- afraid of confusing the public??

Brussels Bombings: Belgian Police Issue New Appeal for Info on 'Man in White'
It looks like the "man in white" is still out there.

Belgian authorities posted a fresh appeal for information on Monday about the mysterious "man in white" pictured in surveillance footage pushing a luggage trolley alongside the Brussels airport suicide bombers.

I can no longer keep track of who is who and how many people are linked to the attacks in Belgium or any past attacks. I feel like I need a chart.

Anyway, my heart is hurting over this. It always does. I feel sick over the US military family that was in the attack. I feel sick over everyone, but that one has been tough for me.

[I tried to search to reply & quote the post but couldnt find it --- I know it was already posted...Regardless, thank you to that poster.]

According to ITV Good Morning Britain correspondent Jonathan Swain police who went back to the house where the men were picked up from found that the two other pieces of luggage left behind "also contained high explosives as well."

Random observations-
In the cctv video ^ showing the man in white, fwiw, his jacket looks too tight in the arms like he is wearing another outfit underneath, and his slow careful steps reminds me of the way a pregnant woman might walk, ie. something stashed at his waist.

Is that a very slight smile on his face, or is he covertly speaking into a microphone, perhaps giving orders or directions?
At 0:22, he appears to look straight at cctv, with evil, imo.
Did he wear white as a distracting description, then change clothing/physical appearance?
Could he have slipped away in emergency personnel apparel?
What is the black band at his right wrist? Is it just a shadow, or is it a watch, if so- is he left-handed?
speculation, imo.

I heard that today and it bugged me??

Radio in the US is reporting that they cannot detain him! Unbelievable.

I SOOOOO agree-takes your breath away for a second. If video cant detain one we are in some deep sh^t!! He was walking with them. What, you think its just a bizaire coindence that three people have the same luggage?

You know the other two walking with him blew themselves up. You have it on video. You found bomb stuff in the same bag that he was "pushing" along.

EXACTLY - what else do you need? I am so confused.

RE:I can no longer keep track of who is who and how many people are linked to the attacks in Belgium or any past attacks. I feel like I need a chart.

Rest asssured - you are not alone. I wish there names like Bob Henry Tom Susy and Mark!!

I noticed in Paris (and just gave up !~)I was having the same issue! Its like the names are like a street or something. There is no connection. There was a chart just like you are talking about. It was good . But I remained just as lost . I will try and find it for you- but in my case 6 minutes after I closed it , the news was on in background and I had no clue again! Still dont ---no worries!! Kinda frustrating tho!!

Hysterical Tara!! Cant stop laughing!! That is just funny my dear!!


Re
slow careful steps : I thought the same thing-- very peculiar the way he held his body and walked. Then i thought maybe he was afraid it would blow up . Then I thought thats why they are there- so why would they care.?Then I thought well if it blew up accidently when they all were together they would not be able to get the other two off.

I also found it somewhat interesting that just like Paris the CEO, top boss, chickened out on killing himself after encouraging everyone else to blow themselves to smitherians . Chicken, big boy??

And ya know what guys? He def looks like he was trying to "disguise" himself- the glasses hat. But why would you need to disgusie yourself if you were supposedly getting ready to blow yourself up? I think all along he had no intention of dying while telling everyone else to.

Random observations- Dotr - neat questions!
