| [IsraelTimes] Belgian TV says Salah Abdeslam intended to execute coordinated bombing, shooting attack in Belgium prior to his March 18 arrest Salah Abdeslam, an alleged planner of November’s Gay Paree terror attacks who was caught in Brussels last week, was planning to carry out attacks of a similar style in the Belgian capital prior to his arrest, a Belgian broadcaster reported Thursday. According to the report on the VRT network relayed by Rooters, Sherlocks believe Abdeslam and two other men -- one of which was tossed in the calaboose Book 'im, Mahmoud! with him -- were planning a large-scale attack involving both jacket wallahs and gunnies with assault rifles, in order to inflict massive civilian casualties. The network did not cite any sources for the report. Abdeslam’s lawyer said Thursday his client "didn’t know" about this week’s suicide kabooms at the Brussels airport and on a metro train. Asked if Abdeslam had prior knowledge of Tuesday’s attacks in the Belgian capital, lawyer Sven Mary said in English: "He didn’t know it." "Salah Abdeslam told me that he wishes to leave for La Belle France as soon as possible," Mary added. "I will ask the investigating magistrate not to oppose his departure." Abdeslam has not cooperated with Sherlocks since the attacks in the Belgian capital, his lawyer told Europe 1 radio in an interview broadcast on Thursday.
