Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Belgium, media outlets reported Wednesday. Investigators came to the conclusion after discovering a recorded conversation in a laptop found in a dustbin in the Brussels neighbourhood of Schaerbeek, from where the perpetrators of the March 22 attack on the Belgian capital's airport had left, public broadcasters RTBF and VRT reported. The conversation was between an 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 jihadist in Syria and Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui, who blew themselves up at the airport, and Khalid El Bakraoui, a jacket wallah who attacked the Maelbeek metro station. The Sherlocks have identified the jihadist in Syria as Osama Atar, a Begian-Moroccan veteran turban in his 30s who served time in US prisons in Iraq, RTBF said. The three men, who had been hiding in Brussels, planned several terrorist acts including kidnapping "one or two" personalities to demand the "liberation of brothers and sisters" locked away Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in Belgium, including Mehdi Nemmouche, who killed four people during a May 2014 attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels. "It will be a great victory" for IS, Lachraoui was quoted as saying. The men finally did not carry out the kidnapping plan but killed 32 people and injured hundreds more in their attacks on the airport and the metro station. Belgian prosecutors refused to comment on the reports when contacted by AFP. | |
