Belgium - 32 Killed In Suicide Bombing At Brussels Airport, 22 March 2016 *arrests, Guilty*

[katydid23]

An EGYPTAIR jet has been taken over by a man with a suicide vest. He hijacked the plane to Cyprus. He has let most of the passengers off the plane but has the crew hostage, I believe.

 

[dutchhelp]

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

No concrete evidence might also mean that he is simply innocent. Shortly before releasing him the police showed this video of the man in white with hat to the public. From that I would derive that they do not believe Fayçal C. to be this man, although he might look familiar. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160329_02208011 This article details that he has an alibi (phone records show he was at home) and that his height is not correct (he is only 1,66 meter). And there is nothing concrete which points to him being guilty, and as such releasing him seems the only logical step.

Belgium reaches out to US for additional help in Brussels bombing investigation - Wall Street Journal

religiously oriented and millenarian groups typically attempt to inflict as many casualties as possible. Because of the apocalyptic frame of reference they use, loss of life is irrelevant, and more casualties are better...... Losses among their co-religionists are of little account, because such casualties will reap the benefits of the afterlife. Likewise, non-believers, whether they are the intended target or collateral damage, deserve death, and killing them may be considered a moral duty. ...


.....backlash rarely concerns these groups, as it is often one of their goals to provoke overreaction by their enemies, and hopefully widen the conflict.......

Another common form of symbolism utilized in terrorist targeting is striking on particular anniversaries or commemorative dates

A terrorist group commits acts of violence to -

• Produce widesrpead fear
• Obtain worldwide, national, or local recognition for their cause by attracting the attention of the media
• Harass, weaken, or embarrass government security forces so that the the government overreacts and appears repressive
• Steal or extort money and equipment, especially weapons and ammunition vital to the operation of their group
• Destroy facilities or disrupt lines of communication in order to create doubt that the government can provide for and protect its citizens
• Discourage foreign investments, tourism, or assistance programs that can affect the target country’s economy and support of the government in power
• Influence government decisions, legislation, or other critical decisions
• Free prisoners
• Satisfy vengeance
• Turn the tide in a guerrilla war by forcing government security forces to concentrate their efforts in urban areas. This allows the terrorist group to establish itself among the local populace in rural areas

BRUSSELS ATTACKS TO COST BELGIUM $4.47 BILLION

[/FONT][FONT=playfair_displayregular]“Cafes, restaurants and shops remained closed yesterday and may not see many customers in the coming days… It is also likely that security measures will deter people from frequenting them,”

[/FONT][FONT=playfair_displayregular] expected to have “a short-lived negative impact on the Belgian economy”

[/FONT][FONT=playfair_displayregular]“In addition, many local amenities will be closed in the coming days, which is particularly disruptive ahead of the long Easter bank holiday weekend (March 25-28), a time when typically restaurants, bars and cafes in Brussels are busy

[/FONT]Never really occurred to me - would these folks be "triggered" by Easter?

[FONT=playfair_displayregular]what we saw in France after the November attacks was that consumer confidence was quite steady. It is possible that Belgium may even experience a rebound in consumer confidence but it is all very uncertain at the moment.”

O/T

Sky news in background.Female news reader started reporting on one of Trumps staffers being charged or something.And I here a male voice off camera yelling something, but it went on air, and it was my sense that it was directed at the on air personality.

She stuttered momentraily and then said something like --well we will get back when we know more on this. I wish I was actually watching. I would assume talent does not apprciate being screamed at on air. It was really odd.

The Belgium's GDP is ca 530 billion (2014), thus either the amount or the percentage in this article seems incorrect. because 4.5 Billion is 0.9% of Belgium's GDP. On the bottom of the article they speak of an annual GDP drop of 0.1 percent, which seems to cause the confusion. I think they mean a 4 billion cost this year (1% drop) and a 400 million/0.1 GDP drop for all years from now on.

Suspect on the Loose

The suspect, who has still not been publicly identified by police, is one of the most wanted men in Europe.

Dubbed the "man in white" because he was wearing a lighter shirt and lighter jacket than the other bombers, the third man is believed to have fled the scene after his bomb did not detonate when the others did, authorities said.

The undetonated third bomb was found in a suitcase by police who responded to the scene, according to authorities, who noted that the bomb later went off on its own while the bomb squad was on site because it was so unstable.

Maybe that was why he was walking so weird!

But....why where a disguse if your planning on being dead shortly?

And I think we can assume he "played" the others along- making them think he was gonna kill himself also. It def looks like he had a sucide bomb on and they found one right?

Sounds just like Paris doesit not?

"He has a matt skin, brown eyes, dark hair and a small face"

It seems to come from the French "la peau mate" or Dutch "getaande huid" which both means something like tanned skin, or easily tanned skin, or lightly colored skin.

The cause of confusion may be the use of USD in the article but Euros in the calculations?

Naah, that's only a 0.9 factor, so roughly the same.

[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."

Re the taxi driver tip off - I don't know if this has link has been posted yet from NYT. I found it interesting as makes a very credible claim that the Belgian security services already had the bomb making flat under surveillance and it wasn't the taxi driver that actually led the cops to make the raid. The building's owner also confirms there was a previous ongoing investigation of the address.

Acting with uncharacteristic — and still unexplained — swiftness, Belgian security forces sealed off the area around the apartment in Schaerbeek within 90 minutes of the airport attack. The authorities attributed their speedy reaction to a tip-off from the taxi driver.

But the driver was said to have alerted the police only after a photograph of the suspects in the attacks was released hours later, raising questions about whether the police had perhaps already had the building in their sights but, for some reason, had not moved in and smashed through the front door to the sixth-floor apartment until it was too late.

This is also interesting, for the aftermath , future risks in brussels & Europe-wide

http://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ht-westerners-text-sent-youths-molenbeek-isis

Messages, feared to be from Isis recruiters, sent on Sunday after video online apparently showed young people celebrating attacks. 'Fight the westerners' text sent to youths in Molenbeek.

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.
It is not known how the recipients’ phone numbers were obtained, but community activists believe Isis handlers download all contacts from the phone books of new recruits and select young men of north African origin to follow up.

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.”

Some kwik enhancements (of a pretty noise-drenched video).

http://www.upload.ee/gallery/14977/MANHUNT.html

I think the guy is in the 30-40 age bracket. His glasses and hat selection speak to this too. Possibly 40+. (He's definitely older than the fairly youthful look .. which is "amplified" by noise).

Video-induced noise is also giving him a certain Joker from Batman look. Quite the contrary; "according to my calculations" he's not smiling .. he's sporting a moderately serious look. He's also probably not as facially-pudgy as he appears. I (also) suspect his nose is not as bulbous as it appears in some of the kwik-enhancements.

In addition; his eyes do not convey any particular "elevated-mood-look" which would support the "no-smile" observation. His lips are probably normal (to a-little-on-the-thin-side) in fullness.

Interesting how his ear canal is visible (along with his pupils) in one of the kwikpiks. Trust this all as reasonable. Please comment.
