Desperate to stop what is called a “serious and imminent” threat of another European terror attack, Belgian police launched more raids in Brussels and beyond throughout the weekend. So far authorities have detained 21 people as they continue their frantic hunt for a fugitive suspect in the Paris attacks.
The raids began late Sunday, capping a tense weekend that saw hundreds of troops patrolling and authorities hunting for one or more suspected extremists including Salah Abdeslam, a fugitive since being named a suspect in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks. Between Sunday night and midday Monday, 19 raids were carried out.
The Belgian government kept the capital on the highest state of alert in the face of the threat, preventing a return to normal in the city that is also host to the European Union’s main institutions.
Federal prosecutor Eric Van Der Sypt said the raids were carried out Sunday in Molenbeek, home to many of the Paris attackers, and other boroughs of Brussels, and three raids were carried out in Charleroi. Abdeslam was not among those arrested. Van Der Sypt said no firearms or explosives were found.
Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon told the RTL network that Abdeslam “must have a lot of support on our territory. That’s why all these searches being conducted at the moment are important.”
Police fired two shots at a car that approached them as they searched a snack bar in Molenbeek, Van Der Sypt said. The vehicle escaped but was stopped later in Brussels, and a wounded person inside was arrested. It was not immediately known if the person was linked to the investigation into the Paris attacks.
Cameron and French President Francois Hollande, meeting in Paris, paid a quiet visit to the Bataclan concert venue, which saw the worst of the carnage in Paris. Hollande plans to meet later this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkeld and then U.S. President Barack Obama in pursuit of a unified strategy in Syria.
The federal prosecutor said in a statement that a BMW sighting near Liege that had been rumored to contain Abdeslam had no links with the ongoing investigation.
Several of the Paris attackers had lived in Brussels, including Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the plot’s orchestrator who was killed Wednesday in a standoff with French police. Police issued a new public appeal for help in identifying the third attacker who was killed in the assault at the national stadium. They posted a photo of the man on Twitter, asking the public for information.
France has intensified its aerial bombing in Syria and Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which has been sent to the Mediterranean, will be “operational” from Monday and “ready to act.”
France has extended a state of emergency which allows police raids, searches and house arrest without permission from a judge, for three months. On Saturday, it also extended a ban on demonstrations and other gatherings through Nov. 30, when a U.N. climate conference with more than 100 heads of state is scheduled to start.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more; the suicide bombings in Beirut that killed 43 people and injured more than 200; and the downing of the Russian jetliner carrying 224 people in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. All happened within the past month.

equips one with insight. Terror cells have been active in Europe since the late 1980s. They have been called into action only rarely, and only for specific hits. The tempo has been increased to increase the level of fear in the Western World in preparation for a repetition of 9-11-2001, that the psychopaths plan to use to invoke martial law in the US and E.U. . . . . Yes, the E.U.
You are correct about the Marshall law…in the Bible it is called the rise of the Antichrist. I had, however, never thought about Obama (or someone else, (like Putin) trying to declare Marshall Law in Europe, as well as in the USA. Very interesting thought. I have long expected him to try it in the USA before his term is up, so he can become a Dictator. And I have wondered if he mght even be the Antichrist. He IS A DANGEROUS man and MUST be stopped by Impeachment, before it is too late. However, if this IS Bible prophesy being fulfilled, then there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. God will have His way, and God help us all.
Yes, God will come down in his UFO and wipe out half the earths inhabitants (Muslims?) and the Bible’s prophesy will be fulfilled. Holy balls…I may be right!

What does it take for These Illiterates to Realize they Are looking for the END ( the last Holocaust of earth ) When NO ONE Knows When that will become Reality ..but OUR Father in Heaven, Our God of the Universe. And the Bible clearly states that NO ONE..Not even the Angels on High will know When . Certainly not This bunch of “”instigators”” ( For a better and more fitting description of Them that I can even Expect to be Printed ! ) who are Thinking They Can Rush That Time for their Own Satisfactory Means > and look how many fools are Falling for It !! Not just The Muslim Crazies..But The Neo-Con-Religios , As well. There has been at least Three “Warnings ‘ In the Past hundred Years ..of ”Get Prepared ! The END IS Nigh !! ‘ And I feel Reasonably Certain that there Will be Many more Such warnings ..( All being issued For Some Crazies` purpose. ) How many Times Have we Heard This ..””Go sell What you own…then Go up in the Mountain.,..and Wait !!! ” Only to Have to Make the Trek Back down the Mountain.. penniless…Back to Nothing.;. After having turned Everything you Owned Over To that “”churchy warning ”’ that came straight from GOD “” those who Immediately Turned it All over into their Own Bank Accounts ~~ SO Please, Read your Bible And Get The TRUE Understanding that can Only Come FROM Our God.
The hack may have just hit a “honey pot” server that stuffed full of fibs.
Every person who becomes part of ISIS should learn that they are signing their death certificate. They should not be given a moment’s peace. Every nation should work to rid the world of al Qaeda and ISIS.
ANYONE, WHO FINDS TERROISM AS SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT SHOULD BE DEPORTED, WHY WAS SOMETHING NOT DONE WHEN THE TWIN TOWERS WERE ATTACKED ?IF ANYONE KNOWS OF SOMEONE WHO IS OUT TO HARM, THEY ARE GUILTY BY KEEPING THEIR MOUTH SHUT. THERE’S LOT’S OF PEOPLE THAT HEAR THREATS MADE, MAYBE NOT REAL, BUT DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I KNOW FOR SURE , IF MINOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS CAN BE CHECKED OUT, ANYTHING THAT EFFECTS OUR WELFARE AS A CITIZEN, CAN BE. BY THE WAY, I FEEL SORRY FOR THE REFUGEES, IF I DIDN’T I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE ANY COMPASSION. BUT I DO THINK, THEY NEED TO BE IN A SAFE PLACE , SHELTERED AND FED, TREATED WITH DIGNITY , SURELY THERE IS A PLACE . I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES TO FIGURE OUT, NOT ME. WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME WIDE OPEN? MOST OF US LOCK OUR DOOR, I KNOW I DO. OUR BORDERS NEED TO BE THE SAME WAY. IF WE WANT A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER . COMMON SENSE IS THE BEST LESSON. GOD BLESS!
The Atheist Zealot capitalists who own the deviant businesses in France are responsible for the policy to bring Muslim terrorists and their supporters to France. This is part of their plan to destroy the Judea Christian society in France and build a voter base among these Muslim animals, which is part of their plan to build a voter base large enough to take permanent control of the government and permanently outlaw Christianity and it’s root Judaism in France and in the world.
Their plan to outlaw Christianity and it’s root Judaism in the world includes overthrowing the State of Israel and this evil goal is why France allows the socially engineered Muslim animals to use France as their home base to travel from and join their favorite Muslim terrorist organizations that are violently overthrowing Assad, killing Christians and Jews and committing terrorist acts against the State of Israel.
France and the USA conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization to overthrow the governments in those countries where the Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed. So far these anti-Semicit Communists orchestrated the overthrows of Mubarak in Egypt, Gadaffi in Libya, Saleh in Yemen and the ongoing violent overthrow of Assad in Syria.
In Syria the US, France and the Muslim Brotherhood staged phony protests which they escalate into violence and then claimed that Assad’s response to their violence was another massacre of Syrian people by the Assad regime in order to make their plan to violently overthrow Assad look like the right thing to do. These evil anti-Semitic Communists further hid this evil plan by claiming that they planned to attack Assad under George Soros’s phony , “Right to Protect” , in which the lied and said that they were removing Assad to protect the protestors, which they instructed to escalate the protests into violence.
Their original plan was to set up a phony, “No Fly” zone, through which the US would use as a disguise to use the US Air Force to bomb Assad out of office. However, when Russia stepped into the picture in defense of Assad they feared this might start a larger war than they wanted at the time, especially because of the nearing Presidential election. At that time Turkey and Iraq also told them they could not use their countries to stage attacks against Assad.
Consequently these Atheist war mongers chose to illegally use the Muslim terrorist organizations in Syria, which they recruited on behalf of, armed and financed partly through the Bengazi compound in Libya. They embarked on telling one lie after the other changing the name of the Muslim terrorist organizations and regrouping them under phony names while they illegally armed them partly through the Bengazi compound in Libya and illegally trained, armed and financed them at a US base in Jordan to become their proxy fighting forces in their conspiracy with the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization to violently overthrow Assad in order to unleash the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization so that they could endeavor to take control of the government, military, finances and resources, which the Communists in the Communist Democratic Party planned for them to use against the State of Israel in a war they plan to orchestrate in the future.
The rift that occurred within the al-Qaeda, which resulted in al-Qaeda in Iraq, which at that time changed it’s name to the Islamic State or IS, initiating the formation of a Caliphate in Iraq effected the al-Qaeda proxy fighting forces that the Communists in the Democratic Party were arming to violently overthrow Assad in Syria. This made it difficult for Communist Democratic Party to hide that they were arming al-Qaeda and when the Islamic State IS, which at that time the Communists began calling ISIL and ISIS in order to confuse the American public, began looting Iraqi banks, capturing US military equipment from the Iraqi Army while they exterminated the Christians in Iraq and Syria, in order to finance their military operations in Syria the US the Communist’s armed and funded them by sitting back and allowing them to destroy Iraq while they lied to Americans telling them that the reason for the Islamic State or IS went on their rampage was because the Shiite controlled government didn’t treat them fairly.
The truth is that the rift with in al-Qaeda resulted in al-Qaeda defunding the Islamic State, IS in Iraq and this forced them to have to find new ways to fund and arm themselves, which they did by looting Iraqi banks, capturing US military equipment from the Iraqi Army and selling oil from the wells they had captured.
It was when the Communists in the Democratic Party thought that Assad was about to be overthrown that they realized that they had to take ISIS out of the picture, in order for the Muslim Brotherhood to complete setting up political offices, which they prematurely started, in the beginning because they foreknew that the Communists in the Democratic Party in the US and their French Atheist Communist European counterparts planned to set up a phony, “No Fly Zone” and use the US Air Force to defeat Assad’s armies.
well Belgium, you have no one but yourselves to blame for letting the animals from the ME into your country. Now you are going to have to get rid of them. this time zero mercy, swift, final action. They are ACTING like animals so treat them the same way. You have a disease in your midst, it’s called Islam. Treat it like a disease. No negotiations, the time for talk is over. The time for action/extermination is NOW! Lead the way. Show France and Holland how it’s done. make Europe an unsafe place for the animals known as Muslims.
