Breaking - explosions at Brussels Airport **Mod warning in post 1**

I hope this isn't seen as hijacking the thread, but does anyone else think that the cctv footage of the 3 suspects in the airports is really poor?
I would have thought it being an airport that security cameras would be absolutely top spec?
The picture of the 3 suspects being shown on news and tv programs is blurry at best, would be really hard to recognize anyone with that quality of picture.
Was just something I was thinking while watching prime time..

Believe me, I don't need anyone to hold my hand and tell me everything is going to be ok.

European countries need to put up a reward for info on these pigs among us. Report a terrorist get 20k. Lets see how much loyalty they'll get.
So many people knew about these guys before they did what they did, they had no reason to get involved though.
20k would of got someone talking. Its the only way to find the rats.

European countries need to stop doing business with Saudi Arabia.

The EU needs to move to outlaw the teaching of the Wahhabi/Salafi sect of Islam funded to the sum of billions of dollars by Saudi Arabia.

Wont happen. Human rights and all that. It's my religion so I have a right to preach hatred.
Also won't happen as Saudi Arabia has lots and lots of oil!

The man on the street who lived next to these guys could not give a fucck about Saudi Arabia. All needs to be simplified .
I'm sure people who lived near these guys wondered if something shady was going on, they had no reason to get involved. People keep to themselves, now maybe if there was an incentive to at least report someone and if it led to a terrorist being caught before he goes out and kills people one could reward that person who reported them. All anonymously .
We need incentives for people on the street to report these rats.

This has been tried for dole spongers etc and failed.

The reason for attacks in Europe?

There isn't just 1, there are many

Globalisation,
Education,
Superiority/Inferiority complexes,
Modern media

There are all sorts of reasons that contribute to where we are.


'Dr' Ali Selim from the Islamic Cultural Centre was on with Vincent Brown this evening.

What I got from what he said was that Europeans can expect what happened in Brussels is because Muslims are marginalised and disadvantaged.
:rolleyes:

Traditionally (in modern history) there haven't been big Muslim populations in European countries other than Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria.

This has of course changed in the last half century, GastArbeiter in Germany from Turkey, North-African migration to Italy, to an extent; Belgium and France.

The disadvantage or marginalisation of someone who chose to move to another country is reason for attacking that country.

I remember being in Brussels just after the year 2000.

I felt at the time that the children of immigrant parents of Muslim background were a group of people who acted differently in a whole manner of situations and ways that gave me cause to fear for the future.

Europe is responsible for its present situation. :eek:
What a ****up.

Is there any thread on (On another fourm) this that is only news updates?

Don't think so. But as of now:

As a hunt for a suspect is under way, here are the latest developments from Belgium:

• Police are hunting for a man in a hat who was caught on CCTV pushing a laden luggage trolley at Zaventem airport before a twin attack there.
• An explosive device containing nails, chemical products and a flag of the so-called Islamic State were found during raids in Brussels.
• Police operations were still under way in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels well into the night.
• The threat level across Belgium has been raised to maximum, and troops have been deployed in Brussels.

Source: BBC News Website as of 22:47pm. Seems to be the latest.

CNN posted the following:

Suspect in airport surveillance video left bomb
The suspect whom authorities are seeking left a bomb in the airport, Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon told CNN's Phil Black. The man "left a bomb in the airport, but it didn't explode. Lucky," Jambon said. "And we are now looking for this guy."
