Additionally yeah, Belgium had way before Merkel pulled her move a "sleeper terrorist" problem.
Tactical wise, more or less like csgo camping right in the bulls-eye waiting for "opportunities".
The reasons why Belgium is attractive to terrorists are diverse. First there is its strategic location between France, Germany and the UK. In two hours one can cross Belgium by car, and because Belgium is part of the Schengen area its outside borders are open, making it extremely easy for terrorists to enter and leave the country quickly. Second, the anonymity of Belgium’s capital appears to offer an ideal hiding place, with some sympathisers for the terrorist struggle – individuals, not communities – willing to give a helping hand to plotters.

Biggest reason though is because the EU HQ is in Bruxelles.

How many of migrants from Middle East came to the EU after Merkel invited them ? They went throught whole europe without any control. You think terrorists from IS or other organisations from middle east wasted chance to get to EU ?
Terrorists has no nationality and no religion but middle east is the place where they have their training camps and you can't denay it.
Last few months were great occasion to get to Europe without any troubles.

The ones that carried the attacks in Paris were born in France and Belgium. Ignoring humand rights when refugees are concern will only create more terrorists. You can't keep anyone out unless you want to live in a police state and even then you would have random acts of violence.

Many of these groups are not even active or better yet are completely disbanded and the ones that are "active" haven't commited an attack like the one in Belgium for ages and most likely will never do so ever again. And I'm not saying 100% of all the terrorist organisations are Islamic, however of those that are active more than 75% of the groups are Islamic. If you truly want to do so you can count them: Link
The fact that you can name a few outdated non-islamic terror organisations is hardly a counter-argument to my statement.
Also you can keep your assumptions about my age to yourself, don't throw mud, I'd rather you come with some actual arguments.

I wonder how Merkel's decision shall have had any influence on these events, considering that the vast majority of those terrorists from the past months were French nationals?
There are millions in Europe on the fringes of society. Failed integration, radicalised within our society. Thousands of them contributing to the terrors Daesh imposes on natives there. But the real and only one to blame, is Merkel with her attempt to help victims?
"Thanks Merkel" is pretty much the same as "Thanks Obama". It only proves the limited knowledge of the one who drops that statement. They need a quick judgment, facts are of minor interest and value.

This time in this particular example it was she who made huge mistake. When she realized how big mistake it was and that your country can't help them all, she proposed that maybe "refugees" shold be distributed to other EU countries. So who should be blamed ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahem no, she expected that from the beginning. A redistribution within the EU was a topic since Italy was flooded with refugees from Libya, in 2014.
All of Europe ignored that and did absolutely NOTHING. They didn't protect borders, they didn't mind that Italy let refugees move on to France and Germany. And most importantly nobody in Europe did invest to create safe zones, pay for the basic needs of war victims and they created no legit alternatives for refugees, in which case we would have remained control on our borders and would have had the option to select the refugees we want to accept here.
All that Merkel did was to react to Europe's already given failure, by making a choice for humanity, when Greece was confronted with a far bigger problem than Italy before.
EU bureaucracy failed, EU solidarity failed. But it is so incredibly easy to offer no solutions at all, if you can pick someone else to blame, who also has to bear all the burden of everyone's failure.
Comment has been collapsed.
What mistake did she make in your opinion?
Cause I'm not seeing how recent refugees would be the cause of terrorists who have actually lived in Belgium or France for many years and have the nationality of the country they were in (Belgium/France). So I'm curious how someone would make that connection/assumption.

Brussels is pretty much in lockdown. there is an extra of 250 soldiers now in the capital making it to 1000 soldiers in Total. that's about All that is officialy known for now

I'm from Flanders/Belgium
Last report from TV1 National Television: at least 28 murdered and more than 70 wounded many of them seriously some fighting for their life.
Zaventem Airport and Brussels metro are the targets.
Terrorists are not all acounted for, armored IFV's and soldiers on the streets.
Wounded are treated in 15 nabouring hospitals.
One of the attacks was a suicide terrorist in the metro.
National Belgian Television says that the attackers are Islamic Daesh terrorists most probably returned Syrian foreign Islamic fighters.
In some Islamic countries like Iran, Syria and Lebanon people are celebrating the attacks...

Same times most of these "terrorists" which are "Not muslim" In your eyes, are people with very high education which most of the time lived in Europe and suddenly went full allah...
And this in Turkey? That aint ISIS at all, that's their own people "protesting" againts the goverment if you havent educated yourself over that. They just blame THAT on ISIS...

They did kinda enslave whole nations for few hundred years and stuff...

What was that ? America existed when the Ottamans invaded Europe? There was slaves longer in America or England or France than there was on the Balkans? Kids were been kidnaped in these countries from their families and trained and made them study/belive in koran and later when the kids grew up they were made to kill their own fathers to prove their loyalty to the Ottaman empire? Oh sorry... Didnt know that America goes that back in history and had such cruelty compared to the Balkans... But what does history actually remember of that period? Vlad Dracula putting live ottamns on spikes? Yeah, that's all history remembers of this slavary period that happened IN EUROPE...

Last year two bus drivers for army of Bosnia and Herzegovina were killed with automatic rifle, after that attacker killed himself with bomb. Drivers were Serb and Muslim, and huge number of Muslims supported the attacker.
That happened in Sarajevo. Same with Turkey, good portion of Turks support terrorists, just not the kurdish ones.
Fun fact western world media (including Belgium) avoided to categorize it as terrorist attack calling it ''incident'' and other names.

But they are celebrating the murders in those countries as they are hot spots for Islamic terrorists and I can't help that you're lying and are using this attack for your own agenda and gains like your political leaders do with terror attacks in your own country. A typical thing they do in your country: lying, misusing and abusing terror attacks to kill and perform genocide on the Kurds like your country did during the Armenian genocide!
1453 is Anti Jewish and Anti Semite and tries to lie and cheat by turning the truth around.
Also I can't help that you're one of those that believe anything your dictator and mass Kurdish murderer and war criminal Erdogan says.

First of all im not Anti Jewish or Semite! i dont hate anyone or against anyone. I AM against the terrorism! idc if its Breivik, IS, PKK or some terrorist from israel. IDC terrorist is Terrorist to me.
second of all there is no genocide or the US and EU would get in our country to save those people, like they do with others. so another bullshit.
Erdogain is far from anti Kurdish, and idk why you come with other subject. we are talking about Terrorists not other nations. kurdish people are not terrorists, we have not anything against them, they are our people as well. we are against the PKK which is a terrorist organisation just like the IS.

Europe is a Union of free countries were the political leaders are elected by their people and stand above any religious leader and thy stand above every religion including the Islam .

And a little luck (if on can say that in this Islamic terror attack): three Islamic Daesh suicide terrorists ordered a large taxi for them and 5 suitcases to drive them to Zaventem airport. But the cab company send a regular taxi and they were very angry but still took this smaller taxi and they had to leave 2 suitcases behind.
Later when special police forces raided the house that the taxi picked them up from they found a Daesh flag and the 2 left behind suitcases and it were 2 nail bombs.
They also found 15 Kg explosives (TAPT), 150 liters of Acetone and 30 liters of hydrogen peroxide.
And a crate with nails and bolts.

Effects are spilling over to Netherlands as well, with security increased on railway stations (at least those along the international lines into Belgium) and airports.
Speculation here is that this is a response to the arrest of Salah Abdeslam - the last fugitive from the Paris attacks last year. But that's unconfirmed. It could just as well be an unrelated event from a different terrorist cell, with the timing just being a coincidence.

There was a suicide bomber in Ankara (pkk) and couple days ago in Istanbul (IS), a lot people died and got injured. Almost NO European countries were saying sorry about it and letting know that they are against terrorisim as a unit. NO! they were quiet and even are for the pkk (terrorists who killed people in Turkey). Couple days ago in Belgium the terrorists (pkk) who killed a lot in Turkey were just having a party in Belguim!! our priminister asked what this shit is, because we were all against Terrorisim. the belgium minister couldnt answer properly. AND look now a suicide bomb in Belgium and everyone starts crying. its sick. hope nobody dies. but hypocrisim is high. where are the people who are against terrorisim when this happened in Turkey? or are the most of you against terrorisim if its only in EU and the US?
IF we show the world that we are AGAINST terrorisim, we shoudlnt support ANY kind of terrorist organisation.. also if its not in EU or US.

I completely agree with you. Just yesterday I was reading an article about Kurdish people in Iraq getting bombed by IS with chemical weapons. As bad as what happened today in Bruxelles is, that is far worse. Nobody bats an eyelid here in Holland though.

Why the hell would you support that dictator ? He literally accepted immigrants and gave them voting right to be elected, %50 of Turkey voted for him but %50 of Turkish people DID NOT. He did support ISIS, he did tried to destroy out nations youth. You weren't in the Gezi, I was there. He called us names and released his attack dogs on us. We were beaten, wounded. He literally tries to destroy the youth of this generation because we are smart enough to NOT support him. How can you support him ? How can you think he is a good man ? What kind of a president tries to destroy the lives of youth generation ? What kind of a man forces his so called "religion" into others by turning Anatolian High Schools into İmam Hatip Schools ? You must be pretty brainwashed to ignore his deeds. There is no logical explanation of supporting this man. It's a known fact that he supports ISIS, I was at the customs when he sent tens of trucks outside of border. They wouldn't allow us to record that flow, but I saw those trucks with my own f**king eyes.

Just because Erdogan get elected doesnt make him a dictator. thats democration, 50% is a DAMN lot. (it does not happen a lot that someone gets 50% years after years. he is dedicated)
You cant assume someone that he supported ISIS, you dont have proof, you have nothing but just making up things to make him bad. This my friend is low. trucks outside of border was just propaganda from Russia which never confirmed. (if you believe this, while almost nobody believe. well we call people like that traitors, people who are against there own nation, own people)
''He called us names and released his attack dogs on us'' man up. if you are gonna break Istanbul to pieces they will force you not to. which is normal. if you were one of the normal protestors, then they shouldnt do shit to you. otherwise you deserved it in my opninion. Throwing molotov cocktails at buildings and breaking shit down is not protesting.
And sorry for you, but he is at this moment the best minister president we have. there is just not a better one, if there was i would go vote for him/her. the other are just very bad they cant even stand against Erdogan.

if someone throws molotov cocktails through windows and breaking my cars, break down my house or whatever, i will beat the shit out of him.. so dont expect they would stand there and watch you break whole city in two. think about it.

For example in my country(Latvia) Latvians and Russians are solving problems with shouting(normal way of ) and maybe little fistfight if things go over limit, but in your country its bombing from Kurds and military raid/assassinations from Turkish army is everyday normal life! In western Europe people are solving problems with muslim migrants by giving them free money, housing but muslims respond with bombing. See difference?

People are asked over the whole country to stay indoors.

Another terrible event, another occasion for neo-nazi zombies to come out and spread hatred and racism.
At least show some respect for all these people that died today and in November and their families...

Staying inside at work. Some were worried on PB, so, I thought that I would post something here. I'm not living in Brussels not even working there.
However, I'm living in one of the big towns in the south of the country, we have also an airport (I'm from Charleroi) and I suppose that we'll have an increase in security: the subway isn't circulating anymore though the bus are still riding.
Brussels is indeed in a lockdown and all the country is on the last level of alert.

I am at my office. Tense indeed since it's the national broadcast TV.
The problem will be to return home with the public transports being somewhat hazardous.
Kind regards to all brusselers.

Right now, on twitter, there are offers of people that accept to ride others from or towards brussels. I don't know if the fact that you're working for one of the national channels will prevent you to go home but I hope that you'll find a ride.

I literally just woke up and turned on the TV and the news of what happened was on. It must be insane, I honestly cannot even begin to feel how people in Brussels must feel. I guess the only thing that would be close to it was 9/11 for us in the states but I was only 3 or 4 when it happened

Illegal immigrants are irrelevant. None of the terrorists so far was an illegal immigrant, all of them are French and Belgian born in these countries.

Thanks. Nice to see, that some people can realize that.

The few people I know in Belgium IRL are safe, waiting for confirmation about SG users from Belgium.
By the way, let's refrain ourselves from arguing there about who is primarily or secondarily responsible and what should be done or have been done. This is not the place - and not the time IMHO.

Sadly it's impressive how many islamophobic and racist posts you can find in this topic. And it's sad how Europe is gradually embracing fascism again, 70 years after the end of WWII...

If a man starts blaming muslims for a nation's major issues and wants to bring their nation back into prosperity through radical ideas it should be time to be concerned. We learn history to prevent it from happening again but we forgot the important details.

And I cross my fingers that your country won't make some terrible mistake in November...

Deuteronomy 17
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant; 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
Deuteronomy 22
27"When he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her. 28"If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, 29then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.

I dont care what Bible says. Im atheist. I live in christian country and I never heard if someone got murdered by christian because was islam believer or atheist. Dont change subject. Look at France muslims can do anything they want because political correctness closes victims mouth and media will attack victims too but liberal sick bastrads will not understand cuz they brainwashed morons.

That might be the case in some passages, but on average the Bible does not condone arbitrary violence, and quite frankly there is less evidence of widescale interpretation of Christian scripture to promote violence against an entire other group of people. Also, your citation of verse 27 of Deuteronomy is a different paragraph and the two passages have different implications (the second actually seems to imply consent in the context of the ancient world, not that they had such a formulation like we do, and is designed to protect the victim in a way that we find abhorrent but in the ancient world was significant, because the amount of money is YEARS OF WAGES). All of the tenets of Deut. 17 are punishments against members of the community, not foreigners or other people, and would not justify war or terrorist bombings. Yes, some sick Christians use scripture to justify violence, but they do not use the whole of scripture, only selected passages, and this practice is condemned by almost every Christian denomination and sect, even the ones that "mainstream" Christians would say aren't "Christian".

I have no problem with race at all, i have problem with peoples mind which are trying break into eastern Europe. If you want to come my country not as tourist i want from people few things: know and respect our traditions and way of life(i don't want to hear complaining about food or people looks and lifestyle at all from migrants), know local language at basic level or will to learn it in very short time, but then excellent knowledge of English is must(to learn local language), useful profession and willingness work very hard for shitty pay and live in shitty conditions(like locals), SUSTAIN YOURSELF+FAMILY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE(ofcoarse schools for children should be free and some other thing that are granted for locals), that mean no FLATS/HOMES OR MONEY FOR FREE FROM GOVERNMENT EVER(in my country if you dont want a work and you are healthy adult then you can get 60 euros month and nothing else, that you can get lol).

I will never generalize muslims or arabic ethnies as bad people, I've met some wonderful people in my life to know better. However these extremists are assholes that should eat a bullet as soon as possible.

I almost took the train to Brussels this morning...
Many of my friends are stuck in Brussels but the most important thing is that they are all safe!
Public transport (train, metro & busses) has been shut down, lot's of people travel to Brussels by train so those people have to stay inside and wait till they have transport out of the city.
Brussels' Taxi drivers don't charge people today.
My thoughts are with the victims and their families

First Belgium's factories provide weapons to the terrorists through Nato.
Then people wonder how did the terrorists manage to find that weaponry...
"You harvest what you seed" people say in my country. The US and their allies sadly my country is among them "helped" the countries of Middle East "reestablish democracy" by destroying them, now the extremists come to our lands to do suicide attacks. You didn't see that coming?
Comment has been collapsed.
This may be true, but still is a little cynic. Following that logic they should target soldiers and the government not the common people, they are achieving nothing but fueling hate from NATO countries common people against their Middle East countries and vice versa, they aren't stopping their women and children from dying but rather asking for a bigger retaliation (this time with the support of the general public).
Comment has been collapsed.
you are quite right. i consider exactly the same things.
even though my approach is cynical, it is true. i try to read as much european news as i can and not from the major journal webpages as they tend to focus only on the subjects their owners wish to promote. even after the attack on Paris, or earlier the 9/11, only few people protested against the weapon industries or their governments who support them. It's extremely sad for me to see so many innocent people from both sides losing their lives and then blame each country the other which eventually will lead into a great scale war while the ones to blame are just a few high power persons.
the image below is what i had in mind when i was writing my OP

Such is the nature of the homo sapiens sapiens... people in power suck at managing their countries and that's why the world is so F up.

I guess in the whole thread, you are the only one who talked about the source of the problem.
Either no one wants to see what happened to those countries/people in the process of "reestablishing democracy" or it is just easier to blame/hate some Muslim middle-eastern country than the real perpetrators.

+1
it's easier to criticize, blame and point with the finger on the others than looking at yourself and the mistakes you have done. and this is what will be done from now on openly in Europe. We, the people of Europe, managed to leave the nazis in the corner but after incidents like this one, they will return. 2 times they grew strong, 2 World Wars happened. I hope i am wrong, but everything is pointing out that sooner or later we will be on the verge of another WW
