Belgium prevented jihadist attacks, newspaper says. (90 Belgians who fought in Syria have returned to the country)

Belgium has thwarted attacks by jihadist fighters returning from war-torn Syria, the L'Echo newspaper reported on Saturday.

According to the report, security and justice sources said the planned attacks were similar in their scope to the one carried out by Mehdi Nemmouche at the Jewish Museum of Brussels on May 24.


90 Belgians who fought in Syria have returned to the country, a source stated – "among them, one out of nine intends to carry out an attack."

That estimate was "conservative," the report went on, "if one also takes into account people who provide logistical support for these attacks."

  1. La Belgique a déjoué plusieurs attentats djihadistes...

    Les autorités belges ont empêché plusieurs attentats par des djihadistes revenus au pays après avoir combattu en Syrie qui sont des sympathisants du groupe Etat islamique (EI), a rapporté un journal belge samedi 20 septembre.

    Les attentats auraient pu être similaires à celui contre le Musée juif en mai dernier, qui avait fait quatre morts, selon le journal "L'Echo".

    Le suspect dans cet attentat, le Français Medhi Nemmouche, avait passé plus d'un an en Syrie à combattre avec les islamistes.

    On estime à quelque 400 le nombre de personnes de nationalité belge qui sont allées se battre en Syrie, dont environ 90 sont rentrés, selon "l'Echo"....................http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/monde/20140920.OBS9800/la-belgique-a-dejoue-plusieurs-attentats-djihadistes.html?xtor=RSS-17
