(Brussels Times) Next Monday, 22 March, sees the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks at Brussels Airport and on the Brussels metro at Maelbeek.
But even five years after that shock, the country’s intelligence and security services are unable to work together properly, an investigation by De Morgen has revealed.
Immediately following the attacks, the federal police, the civilian intelligence service and the military intelligence service SGRS decided to equip themselves with the same type of software, which would allow them to cooperate in tracking down terrorist messages on social media.
The tender was handled by the defence ministry, and two companies responded: the multinational IBM and the Dutch Bavak.
