Brussels bomber ‘had cleaning job’ at European Parliament
2016-04-07
[IsraelTimes] One of two Islamic State jacket wallahs briefly worked at the EU body headquarters in 2009 and 2010, report says

One of two 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadists who blew themselves up at Brussels airport on March 22 briefly worked as a cleaner at the European Parliament several years ago, the EU body said Wednesday.

"He held a summer holiday job cleaning at the Parliament for one month in 2009 and one month in 2010. Those were the only instances he worked at the Parliament," it said in a statement.

It did not name the individual, but a source close to the inquiry told AFP it was Najim Laachraoui.

Laachraoui and fellow suicide bomber Ibrahim El Bakraoui blew themselves up at Brussels Airport in coordinated attacks two weeks ago that also struck a Brussels metro station and killed a total of 32 people.

Laachraoui is also suspected of being the bomb-maker for the Gay Paree terror assaults last November after his DNA was found on some the explosives used in the attacks, which killed 130.

The European Parliament said the suspect did not have a criminal record when he worked for the cleaning firm it had contracted at the time.

"As required by the contract, the cleaning firm submitted proof of the absence of a criminal record to the European Parliament," the statement said.

#2  I'm conflicted too g(r)om. We have people here with lots of security telling the peons they must accept the risks of the ruling class' virtue signaling. They only seem excited when it's the 'right people' who get harmed.

#1  Does the fact that my first reaction was a sigh of regret, makes me a bad person?
