 [IsraelTimes] Security forces shoot man before dragging him away and forcing him to release bag that then is retrieved by robotBelgian security forces on Friday reportedly shot and maimed a terror suspect carrying kaboom, during an arrest raid at a tram station in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels. A bomb squad unit was involved in the operation. Belgium’s state broadcaster said one person carrying a bag of kaboom was maimed and enjugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in the raid. Schaerbeek Mayor Bernard Clerfayt said that one man had been arrested, and that he was lightly hurt in the incident. "I can confirm a police operation targeting a person who was intercepted by police and suffered a slight leg injury," he said, adding that there had been several small kabooms linked to bomb disposal work. The Daily Mail published images of the arrest at a tram station, saying that a child had to be coaxed away from the side of the maimed suspect before officers could swoop in.
A bomb disposal robot was then reportedly deployed to retrieve the bag, which was inspected by a bomb disposal expert. Brussels, which has emerged as a hotspot for radical Islam in Europe, was hit Tuesday by suicide kabooms which left 31 dead at the airport and on the city metro. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel skipped a wreath-laying ceremony with US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... at Brussels airport, one of the targets of Tuesday’s attacks, due to the ongoing police operation.
 Meanwhile,...back at the pound, the little lost dog had finished eating the rat terrier... French officials said they had foiled a terror attack by a suspect who had been convicted in Belgium alongside Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected ringleader of the November 13 terror attacks in Gay Paree. French national Reda Kriket, 34, was arrested Thursday. During a raid on his home in the Gay Paree suburb of Argenteuil, police seized assault rifles including Kalashnikovs and TATP -- the homemade explosive of choice of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. French police sources said a major raid launched in Brussels on Friday was linked to the arrest, as French and Belgian authorities labor to unravel the links between jihadists in their respective countries. La Belle France’s Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the arrest of Kriket "foiled a planned attack in La Belle France, which was at an advanced stage." Some of the TATP found in Kriket’s apartment was ready to use, while police also found its ingredients, acetone and oxygenated water. Kriket was found guilty in absentia in Brussels last July of being part of a network recruiting jihadists to Syria and sentenced to 10 years’ jail, according to police sources. Investigations showed he played a key role in financing the network with money from robberies and stolen goods. Among those who went to Syria through the network were Abaaoud and another Gay Paree attacker, Chakib Akrouh. Abaaoud was among 28 people convicted in the Belgian trial and was sentenced to 20 years in absentia. The ‘ringleader’ A 28-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin, Abaaoud was a notorious jihadist who had appeared in grisly Islamic State group videos and was behind several failed attack plots in Europe. On November 13, he formed part of a 10-man team of gunnies and jacket wallahs that left 130 people dead in a series of attacks on Gay Paree, with authorities referring to him as the "ringleader." Abaaoud was killed five days later in a police raid outside Gay Paree, during which Akrouh went kaboom!, also killing Abaaoud’s female cousin. Abaaoud and Akrouh were part of the team of jihadists who sprayed Gay Paree restaurants and bars with gunfire on the night of the attacks, killing 39. Abaaoud was from the Brussels immigrant district of Molenbeek, which has been thrust into the spotlight for its ties to the Gay Paree attackers and Islamic radicalism. It is also where Abdeslam was arrested last week after a four-month manhunt. It remains unclear where Kriket fits in. Cazeneuve said Kriket had been under surveillance "for several weeks" and that the arrest was also the result of "close and constant cooperation between European services." "He belongs to a terrorist network that sought to strike our country," the interior minister said. Cazeneuve said earlier in March that La Belle France had thwarted at least six potential attacks since jihadists struck in January 2015, killing 17 people at the Charlie Hebdo ...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...satirical magazine and a Jewish supermarket. Since the beginning of 2016, 75 people have been arrested in La Belle France "with links to terrorist activities", 37 have been charged and 28 locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! , he said.
