This Detail About How The Suspected Brussels Suicide Bombers Wore Their Gloves Might Have Been A Giveaway
2016-03-24
The Belgian prosecutor's office has confirmed that the three men in this CCTV footage are suspects in the investigation of the Brussels attacks.

And this picture reveals an important detail that might have given them away.

The two men dressed in black are believed to have carried out the suicide bombings. They are wearing only one glove on their left hand.
Big Michal Jackson fans maybe?
According to the Belgian news site La Libre, the single glove could have helped them hide a detonator. A security expert also told Sky News that the matching gloves could be a clue about which device was used.

The man in white on the right is suspected of being an attacker and is being actively sought by the police. He was named on Wednesday morning as Najim Laachraoui.

In addition to wearing a different colour scheme, Laachraoui does not seem to be wearing a glove. It is not clear whether the fact that all three chose to use luggage carts is significant. It is unclear whether there were explosives on those trolleys. An unexploded suicide vest and a Kalashnikov were also found at the airport.

The attacks on the Belgian capital on Tuesday killed at least 30 people and left hundreds more injured. Two explosions ripped through the Zaventem Airport, and another explosion rocked the Maelbeek metro station in the centre of Brussels.

#1  So in the future we'll have (a) no carryons and no bags at all in the terminal (b) Bags will have to be checked at a decent distance from the terminal and after being checked they will be subjected to shake tests to see if they explode.

The Jihadist response will be to put explosives in Baby carts.

On and on until our society is dismantled or our leaders wake up.
