I would not be supprised if this was done by muslim immigrants.Not to be racist,this is my observation from spending alot of time in Belgium.Belgium has a growing population of muslim immigrants that Belgium provides money and housing.
A suspect has been arrested in Marseille and we even have a name so it sounds serious. Supposedly travelled on a bus from Amsterdam and it's not yet known whether he intended travelling on to Algeria or to commit another crime in Marseille. He was arrested on Friday but the news only broke a couple of hours ago.
Kortrijk is my second hometown,it is close to the border of France,near Lille.Kortrijk can be used as a stepping stone between Paris,Lille,Kortrijk and Brussels or Antwerp.Very easy by train.
I couldn't get your other deredactie links to open, but this one did.
Suspect in Jewish Museum killings detained in France Sun 01/06/2014 - 10:30

French police have arrested a suspect in the Jewish Museum shootings. Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old Frenchman from the city of Roubaix in northern France, was apprehended in the southern port city of Marseille. He was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle gun and a revolver and "impressive amounts of ammunition". The man is believed to have contacts on Kortrijk. PM Elio Di Rupo said Belgium should "step up the fight against radical organisations".
Mehdi Nemmouche, a French extremist who arrived in Syria in December 2012, was also part of KAM and, according to Amzil, belonged to a group led by the Belgian terrorist operative Abdelhamid Abaaoud whose aim was to commit terrorist attacks in Belgium.11 He left the country around the same time as Boudina and Tliba, with whom he was apparently well-acquainted.c Once in Turkey, on January 16, 2014, he was called from Belgium by Abaaoud, who was himself a KAM member and would later play a key role in the Paris attacks. Earlier that day, Nemmouche had tried to contact Dniel Mahi, another KAM alumnus also then in Belgium and a close friend of Abaaoud.12 After a circuitous journey throughout Southeast Asia, Nemmouche spent several weeks in Molenbeek before his attack against the Jewish Museum of Brussels in May 2014, the first successful one carried out in Europe on behalf of the Islamic State.13
Although the above-mentioned Syrian returnees were all Islamic State members, the level of organizational command and control remains difficult to assess. In addition to the absence of any official claim of responsibility, it is also worth noting that Nemmouche complained about the lack of support he faced upon returning from Syria.
All three Brussels Jewish museum shooting suspects must stand trial, judge rules
Two Israeli tourists and two museum workers were killed when a gunman entered the building in the centre of the Belgian capital and opened fire with a Kalashnikov rifle.
Mehdi Nemmouche, the suspected gunman, has been in custody awaiting trial since he was arrested in the French coastal town of Marseille a week after the attack.
But a judge ruled on Thursday that two other men – Nacer Bendrer and Mounir Atallah – should face trial alongside him.
Frenchman Mehdi Nemmouche was ordered to stand trial for allegedly killing four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels four years ago in a jihadist attack.
A French jihadist appeared in court on Monday ahead of his trial for shooting dead four people at a Jewish museum in Brussels in 2014 following his return from Syria.
Mehdi Nemmouche, accused of being the first battle-hardened jihadist to stage a terror attack on European soil, faces a life sentence if convicted over the killing spree in the Belgian capital on May 24, 2014.
Both Nemmouche, 33, and Nacer Bendrer, a fellow Frenchman aged 30 who allegedly supplied the weapons, deny charges of "terrorist murder".
Nemmouche, wearing a blue sweater, spoke only to confirm his identity as the hearing began at 10:30 am (0930 GMT).
"Nemmouche, Mehdi, 33 years old, unemployed," he told the criminal court in Brussels, which is expected to spend Monday selecting the 12-member jury ahead of the start of the full trial on Thursday.
More than 100 witnesses are to testify at the trial, which will be attended by the victims’ families and Jewish community leaders who have denounced the anti-Semitic nature of the attack.
