(Brussels Times) The Director General of Belgium’s Federal Judicial Police Eric Snoeck stated on Friday that the terrorist threat posed to Belgium “has not disappeared completely,” seven years after the terror attacks that rocked the capital in 2016.
Speaking on [a ] La Première radio programme, Snoeck explained that the threat of terrorism had not vanished but had “without a doubt evolved in an unstable geopolitical landscape.”
Just this year alone, Belgian security services had to deal with a terrorist hoax about an attempted attack on Brussels’ metro lines, while the Miss Belgium competition saw a terror suspect arrested over a potential murder plot.
