(Euronews) Just a week ago, Abdesalem Lassoued plunged the city of Brussels into chaos.
Not even his wife or his closest friends knew that the Tunisian, who was in Belgium illegally, was about to commit an act of terrorism.
After he shot dead two Swedish citizens and wounded a third to “avenge Muslims,” his wife, who worked in a hairdressing salon, took refuge in a local police station with their daughter.
“I never noticed anything or saw any signs of radicalisation. We were a couple like any other,” she told Belgian media.
Hours after the attack, Islamic State claimed that Lassoued was a “fighter” for the terrorist organisation. However, local authorities suggested that he had acted alone.
