(Brussels Times) Lawyers for two men arrested in Antwerp over an alleged terrorist plot targeting political figures have argued that the attack was “technically impossible.”
The lawyers called for their clients to be released under conditions or placed under electronic surveillance.
The case was heard on Monday by the Antwerp Court of Appeal, following an earlier decision on 15 October to uphold the suspects’ detention.
The two men, aged 18 and 23, are accused by the federal prosecutor’s office of planning an attack using a drone. One potential target was said to be Prime Minister Bart De Wever.
