“We must accept to live with the idea that other attacks are likely, that other attacks will happen. The potential actors are already here.”

Alain Winants — Former Head of the Belgian State Security Service

Today, Alain Winants — Former Head of the Belgian State Security Service — made it very clear: “Brussels is the perfect target for terrorists.” Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Why Belgium?

According to Winants, Belgium is a “perfect target” for the following reasons:

TARGETS: The presence of European Institutions and NATO

MEANS: The Terrorists have already many cells and sympathisers living in Belgium

CURRENT EVENTS: Belgium is fighting ISIS

HISTORY: The Belgian Governments have never taken terrorism seriously. No serious resources were ever allocated to fight this threat.

Also…

Although he did not say so, many experts expect a new wave of attacks for a simple reason. As ISIS is loosing ground, many fighters will return to Europe. Soon.
