(AFP) Belgium’s domestic intelligence agency warned Friday that the country faces a persistent terror threat, in part because of the radicalisation of prisoners.
The State Security Service said Belgium faces a “considerable problem” of extremism in jails and that convicted terrorists continue to reoffend.
The country has already been hit by several attacks claimed by the Islamic State group, including the bombings in Brussels in March 2016 that left 32 dead.
Attacks across the border in France have also been traced to Brussels-based cells, including the November 2015 assault on Paris targets that killed 130 people.
