Bomb attacks in Brussels Airport and metro station

Je suis aussi très triste de voir ce qui ce passe et surtout de voir que les gens ne voient pas ce qui ce passe et croient ce qu’on leur raconte, à la télé, dans les journaux…C’est dur de supporter ses mensonges et surtout de ne pouvoir rien faire. Hier J’ai été voir ma sœur qui est sur Lille, elle a deux fils qui habitent Bruxelles, un qui travaille dans l’événementiel, il risque de se retrouver sans travaille en ce moment puisque la plus part des événements seront annulés. J’ai essayé de lui expliquer, comme je pouvais, de ce qui se passe réellement, mais hélas, elle a son esprit fermé à ça comme une grande majorité de l’humanité. Quand elle m’a dit « il faut en prendre et en laisser» ou « je ne veux pas savoir et continuer à vivre ma vie » J’ai fait quelques respirations, je l’ai regardé et je lui ai dit avec des larmes au cœur « Tu as peut-être raison » et on a commencé à discuter de chose et d’autre de la vie courante. C’est ce que je vie avec mon entourage.
Il y a, c’est sur, de l’ignorance, mais il y a aussi la peur de la réalité.
J’ai mal au ventre, je pleure pour eux, pour tous les humains qui se trompent de chemin, je ne peux rien faire, c’est dur à vivre, je peux seulement dire que « c’est leur choix »et en même temps j’ai peur pour eux.
Je voudrais aussi que les comètes arrivent, que les volcans se réveillent tous en même temps maintenant, et que le changement se fasse.

I am also very sad to see what is going on and especially to see that people do not see what is happening and believe what they are told, on TV, in newspapers ... It's hard to support his lies and especially not to do anything. Yesterday I went to see my sister who is in Lille, she has two son who live in Brussels, one who works in events, it may be left without work right now since most of the events will be canceled. I tried to explain, as best I could, what actually happens, but alas, she closed her mind to it as a great majority of humanity. When she told me "you have to give and take" or "I do not want to know and continue to live my life," I made a few breaths, I looked and I said to her with tears in heart "You may be right," and began to discuss something else and everyday life. This is what I live with my entourage.
There is over, ignorance, but there is also the fear of reality.
I have a stomach ache, I cry for them, for all people who are mistaken path, I can not do anything, it's hard to live, I can only say that "it is their choice" by and same time I fear for them.
I would also like comets arrive, as volcanoes awaken all together now, and that change happen.
 
Blunders That Burned Brussels: Belgium's Six Main Security Failures
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160324/1036874532/brussels-terror-attacks-security.html

The Brussels terrorist attacks called into question the efficiency of Belgian intelligence structures, according to RT, which singled out at least six security lapses.

At least six Belgian security forces-related drawbacks came to light in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks which transpired in Brussels on March 22, according to RT.

1.Airport - Strange as it may seem, Brussels' international airport was not equipped with basic safety equipment. Many experts, as well as Russian and foreign tourists, pointed to a lack of metal detectors at the entrances and the inexplicably free access to the territory of the airport.

"What kind of security can be discussed if the main airport in the country was not equipped with access control monitoring systems?," Josef Linder, president of the International Counter-Terror Training Association was quoted by RT as saying.

He was echoed by Russian tourist Alexandra Sadomtseva, who said that "anyone can enter the airport building and carry any luggage." She added that she saw several servicemen in the airport, but that there were no police officers inside the building.

2. Coordination with neighbors - Unfortunately, Belgian security forces have failed to duly coordinate efforts in the face of a terrorism threat. Right now, the security forces of just five EU countries exchange information on those who are suspected of international terrorism, something that has yet to be done by the security structures of the other 23 EU member states.

"Of course, European intelligence services should better coordinate their efforts as far as the fight against terrorism is concerned. Thus far, cooperation in this area has been inefficient," Jean-Louis Fiamenghi, ex-head of the French police special forces unit RAID said in an interview with RT.

Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the Russian National Anti-Corruption Committee, for his part, berated the Belgian intelligence services for failing to cooperate with their Russian colleagues.

"The main mistake of the Belgian security structures is their lack of cooperation with Russia and its experts, [who have] extensive experience in the fight against terrorism," he said.

3. The Abdeslam factor - After arresting Salah Abdeslam, the Belgian security forces decided that the problem had been resolved, and failed to foresee the possible development of events. This raises eyebrows, given that during an interrogation, the organizer of the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 admitted that he was planning a similar attack in Belgium.

Given that Adbeslam could have accomplices, the level of the terrorist threat in Belgium should have been increased to the maximum for several days, something that was never done.

In an interview with RT, Alexey Filatov, vice-president of the international anti-terrorist association Alpha, said that the "according to incoming data, the Brussels terrorist attacks were provoked by the arrest of Salah Abdasalam."

"Apparently, a terrorist act was being planned — a large-scale one that should have been staged at a different time. Abdeslam's interrogation could finally help police track his accomplices, which is why terrorist decided to be quick about carrying out the attacks," he said.

4. Molenbeek - As such, the municipality Molenbeek is little more than an uncontrollable ethnic enclave, according to RT. It is safe to assume that law and order in this suburb of Brussels has fallen victim to political correctness and multiculturalism. The security services did not even try to work in this "state within a state" that became an all-European hotbed of terrorism, RT said.

Yevgeny Satanovsky, head of the Moscow-based Middle East Institute told RT that "multiculturalism and migrants' freedom of access from the Middle East and Africa to Europe for several decades made Brussels the capital of European radicalism and Islamism."

"Democracy and human rights have also contributed to this, resulting in the creation of a free Sharia zone in Molenbeek, where the police have not been in decades," he said.

5. Internal fragmentation of security forces - The lack of duly coordination between the city authorities and law enforcement agencies has also played a negative role in the development of the latest tragic events in Belgium.

"The country is, in fact, divided into two enclaves. There is no single government and parliament, as well as there is no interaction between the executive authorities. And separate intelligence agencies cannot interact within their country," Josef Linder said.

He also lamented the fact that "the whole experience of the previous work of the Belgian intelligence services was destroyed by the European Union's policy."

6. Clandestine intelligence agents - Many experts, including Linder, pointed out that the fight against terrorism can only be effective with the help of a full-fledged agent network.

"Intelligence work in the Belgian enclaves was carried out at a minimum level, and combating terrorism in such a way is almost impossible", Linder said.

Created after the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, the Special EU Center for Fighting Terrorism has yet to develop its intelligence database. In this regard, the Belgian special services could not obtain relevant inside information, RT concluded.

On March 22, at least 31 people were killed and 300 others injured in a series of explosions at Brussels Airport and in one of the city's subway stations. The terrorist group Daesh (ISIL/ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attacks.



Brussels Attacks Show Exactly Who Threatens Europe, and It's Not Russia (Video)
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160324/1036890583/russia-west-terror-threat-analysis.html

As the death toll from Tuesday’s barbaric terror attacks in Brussels continues to mount, so too is the rhetoric about the attacks' implications on European security policy;. Russian politicians have suggested that the West should stop seeing Russia as an 'existential threat' and focus on the jihadists. Are they mistaken?

The death toll from Tuesday morning’s deadly bombing attacks on the Belgian capital, which many of the EU's central institutions call home, grew to 31 on Wednesday; scores more remain hospitalized with serious injuries. But as Europeans emerge from their state of shock over the horrific act of terror, some politicians and journalists have begun to analyze the causes of the attack, with others quickly rushing in to chastise them for their 'insensitivity'.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Alexei Pushkov, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Russia’s parliament, suggested that perhaps the European and US officials entrusted with maintaining security should stop treating Russia as a threat to the West, and focus on the real danger: radical Islamist terrorism.

Expressing his deep condolences for the relatives of those killed, Pushkov noted that while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was "getting carried away" fighting "the imaginary Russian threat," people were "being blown up right under his nose in Brussels."

A few hours later and into Wednesday, Pushkov released more tweets, suggesting that "it’s high time for the West to reject anti-Russian hysteria and to turn to cooperation with Russia against terrorism. Paris and Brussels have shown exactly who threatens Europe."

In Wednesday's tweet, he took an even firmer stand, echoing the position taken by some independent journalists and recalling that “those responsible for the terror attacks in Brussels are the same jihadists who fought in Libya against Gaddafi and in Syria against Assad. But in Europe, they prefer to remain silent about this.”

Pushkov’s remarks, repeated in various iterations by some other Russian politicians, caused faux outrage among some Western publications, with Newsweek claiming that the politician was "taunting" the West, the Huffington Post calling his words “provocative,” and The Washington Post, which put together a collection of Russian officials' responses to the attacks, listing Pushkov’s comments under "ugly hot takes."

Indeed, while other top Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, also limited their official commentary to offering condolences and solidarity, some others could not help but criticize what they saw as a patently unfair characterization of Russia as an ‘existential threat’ to the West, while Daesh, which has now carried out a string of terror attacks against Western capitals, is not.

Their frustration is understandable. While Western officials have repeatedly classified Russia as an ‘existential threat’, President Barack Obama has pointedly refused to do so in relation to Daesh, even immediately following the Brussels attacks.

On Wednesday, during his visit to Argentina, Obama said that "groups like ISIL can’t destroy us, they can’t defeat us, they don’t produce anything. They’re not an existential threat to us…Even as we are systematic and ruthless in going after them, disrupting their networks, getting their leaders, rolling up their operations, it is very important to us not to respond with fear."

​In other words, the leader of the free world seemed to confirm that Islamist terrorists who have the audacity to murder Europeans in the streets of their own capitals are not an existential threat to the West's existence, while Russia, which is fighting these same terrorists, is.

In this light, Puskhov's comments, and those of other Russian officials, no longer seem to sound so absurd; on the contrary, they gain an air of common sense.

In the aftermath of the crisis in Ukraine, which even some Western officials have now admitted was a 'Western-sponsored regime change to damage Russian interests', NATO, which had already expanded 500 miles toward Russia's borders in the 1990s and early 2000s, began an extensive military buildup on a scale unseen since the end of the Cold War.

In addition to billions in new spending on conventional forces, new troop deployments, the delivery of heavy US equipment to Eastern Europe, and the US's missile defense shield, the Pentagon now plans to spend over a trillion dollars on modernizing its nuclear weaponry in the coming decades.

All this spending is devoted to countering a hypothetical 'Russian existential threat' which, in all fairness, hasn't actually manifested itself in any location vital to US or European security. Terrorist groups including Daesh and Al-Qaeda, on the other hand, have repeatedly demonstrated both an ideologically driven propensity to attack the West, and the material and organizational capacity to do so.

Responding to news of the Brussels attacks on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the "double standards" Western nations have allowed themselves to adopt when it comes to fighting terrorism.

"One cannot support them in one region, in the Middle East or North Caucasus, and still think that this terrible sickness of the modern world will not come to other parts of the world," she said, hinting at Western nations' support for the so-called 'moderate Islamists' in Syria. "It can't possibly be that way."

Unfortunately, she added, "people are beginning to understand that this policy leads to a dead end, but only at the cost of greater and greater sacrifices – through lost time and lost lives."

Today, Zakharova suggests, "one gets the sense that there is a deliberate informational campaign to divert international attention from the most important threat which exists today – terrorism. All kinds of threats, all sorts of pretexts, are invented to find trouble where it doesn't exist, while the real problem is not noticed at all," she said, hinting at the issues mentioned above.

Ultimately, it would be interesting to ponder just how safe Brussels, Europe and the West as a whole would be if, instead of concentrating all their enmity and security resources against Russia, they focused whole-heartedly on the threat of radical jihadist terrorism. How many innocent people would still be alive, and how many families would not have been shattered by this senseless violence?

For their part, Russian officials, even if they feel slighted by the fact that their country is called an 'existential threat', while actual terrorists are not, have not given up hope. In a speech about the Brussels attacks, Sergei Naryshkin, the speaker of the lower house of Russian parliament, emphasized that it is not too late for "the civilized world" to "unite in fighting against the common threat of international terrorism."

This, he suggested, would only be possible if the politicians of EU and NATO countries, rather than "announcing all types of [anti-Russian] sanctions," and "bargaining over the fate of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa," were willing to take "resolute measures" to fight the scourge.

The only question is: is the West willing, and is it able, to make the necessary shift in its priorities when it comes to its security?
 
Eight Things to Do to Survive a Terrorist Attack (Videos)
http://sputniknews.com/art_living/20160324/1036890231/terror-attack-what-to-do.html

Russian counter-terrorism veteran Vladimir Yeliseyev told Sputnik Deutschland what to do if you are in a place where a terrorist attack was committed.

Imagine that you, by some great misfortune, ended up in a place where a terrorist attack took place. The air is thick with smoke and dust, there are injured people around you, some are panicking and running away, and nearby, you notice an injured man on the floor, who looks like he is trying to reach for a large bag. What do you do? A veteran counter-terrorism specialist for Russia's special forces told Sputnik what you can do to maximize your chances of survival and help prevent future attacks.

Vladimir Yeliseyev is a veteran of the Alfa anti-terrorism spetsnaz (special forces) group, which was founded as part of the Soviet KGB, and is now a part of Russia's FSB (Federal Security Service).

These are his tips for what to do if you happened to be in a place where a terrorist attack took place.

1. Do Not Panic. - In a state of panic, many people get injured, sometimes do the point of death. Try to avoid narrow passages if there are other exits. If there is only one exit, try to not run ahead of others and go in a strictly orderly fashion. That way you can leave the terrorist attack area much faster.

2. Do Not Run With the Crowd. - Other than injuries received during the attack, you have the risk of being trampled by running people. You don't know where people are running and could end up in a new area of attack.

3. If You Are Not Injured, Look Around - Try to remember people and objects. The terrorist could be nearby. Tell the police or medical professionals everything that was suspicious or attracted your attention. This could help prevent a repeat terrorist attack.

4. Do Not Touch Others' Belongings or Unknown Objects. - They could contain parts of explosives or an unexploded device, especially if it is a bag, suitcase or backpack. If you see such an object, tell law enforcement officers about it without touching it.

5. Try to Leave as Soon as Possible . - There is a possibility of a repeat explosion. There is also the possibility that the building in which the attack took place could collapse. There is a possibility of poisoning from burning objects and dust from damage to the building. It is best to cover your nose and mouth with any fabric to avoid inhaling small particles.

6. Follow the Instructions and Orders of Law Enforcement. - Law enforcement officers are responsible for the organized exit from the attack zone, they know which direction to go to not end up in a place with smoke or building collapse. They seal the area to allow the victims to leave from the attack zone to places where medical and psychological help may be provided. If this is a cold part of the year, warming places will be organized.

7. Find Medical Help if You Are Injured. - As a general rule, ambulances are quick to arrive to an attack zone. You may not be able to notice you injuries while in a state of shock, this could lead to blood loss and other complications, as well as fainting and new injuries.

8. Try to Remember Everything That Happened. - Try to fix in your memory all details which attracted your attention. The information will be needed later, during the investigation. That way you will aid the investigation of the terrorist attack.

Vous n'êtes pas seule dans cette situation, je pense que tous ici on est confrontés avec des gens qui refusent de voir la réalité, qui disent:"oh, il faut continuer à vivre, oh, je ne peux rien y faire." Ça ça fait partie de la réalité, aussi. L'ignorance est terrible. Moi j'arrête pas de penser à la profondeur perverse de ces crapules qui ont fait cette attaque.

You are not alone to live this situation, I think everyone here makes face to people that refuse to see reality as it is, et say: "Oh, live goes on, there is nothing to do about it."

Media Manipulation: More Fake Video Reports of the Brussels Terror Attacks (Videos)
http://www.globalresearch.ca/more-fake-video-reports-of-the-brussels-terror-attacks/5516074

One of the first videos published by Belgium’s mainstream media, was, according to reports, from the CC security surveillance cameras at Brussels airport. The video report was released at 9.07am, one hour after the first bomb attack at the airport. The video was fake. What Derniere Heure and La Libre published was footage from a January 2011 terror attack at Moscow International airport.

Journalists and media editors are fully aware that surveillance videos at an airport are under the jurisdiction of the airport’s security authorities. They are not normally released immediately after a terror attack.

There was no way the media could have got hold of the surveillance videos in the immediate wake of the attacks. Moreover, following the attack, the airport was closed down.

In another words, the airport surveillance video would not have been available to the media less than one hour after the terror event.

What Derniere Heure did was to take the Moscow International airport video, remove the audio in Russian, change the date and broadcast it on the Internet and network TV at 9:07 AM.

Was this a stupid mistake or was it deliberate. The case of the fake airport surveillance video was fully documented in a previous Global Research article.

* Below is the screenshot of DH’s report:

* And here is a screenshot of the January 2011 terror attack at Moscow’s Domodedova International Airport:

The Second Fake Surveillance Video at Brussels Maelbeek Metro Station

The terror attack in the afternoon of March 22 at Brussels Maelbeek Metro station was reported by mainstream media including CNN.

In these reports, video footage from a 2011 terror attack in Minsk, Belarus was used by network TV and online media to describe what was happening in the metro station at the time of the attacks.

According to the Independent:

CCTV footage that was shared after the Brussels attacks, believed to show video from inside Maelbeek Metro station, has been proven fake.

As news emerged of the third explosion in the Belgian capital, which targeted the station situated near EU offices, many began sharing what they believed to be footage of the bombing.

However it was soon discovered that the video in fact came from the Minsk Metro bombing of 2011 that killed 15 and injured over 200 people.

The Independent’s report is based on a fallacy. It was the mainstream media that published the Moscow and Minsk video footages. It was thanks to incisive social media blog reports that the use of fake videos by the mainstream media was revealed.

The more fundamental question: two cases of fake videos:

Can we trust the mainstream media reports concerning the Brussels terror attacks?

Comparisons: Brussels, 22 March 2016 versus Minsk, 11 April 2011. Same video footage

* Here is a screenshot of video footage broadcast on network TV and on the internet depicting the explosion in the Metro in Brussels, March 22, 2016.

* Here is the alleged video footage of the CCTV surveillance camera, Brussel Maelbeek Metro Station. The CC surveillance camera is under control of the Metro security authorities.

* Now Compare the above to the screenshot of the Minsk April 2011 attacks followed by full-length video.
 
There is also imo an interesting statement from Jean Claude Juncker, which unfortunately I couldn't find in English yet. He said something like that (own translation):

The terrorists in the past were our own (from the 60s to 90s). [...] It seems that terrorism that is today attacking us was imported from outside, but the ones who did it are born here, even some parents. Some are taught by our schools and took part in normal social life. They just give the impression that they are coming from somewhere else, but they are from here!

I would say that there are many people nowadays that would kill.. The hollywood stuff that praises psychopaths maybe had a role in this. So muslims, grown up in the west, just go with the flow?

Behind the Brussels Attacks
https://syria360.wordpress.com/2016/03/23/behind-the-brussels-attacks/

It is not a coincidence that Belgium’s Zavantem International Airport and Maalbeek metro station are targeted simultaneously on the day Star came out with the headline “Terrorist Belgium” and right after Erdoğan threatened Belgium on March 18. It is a clear indication that Erdoğan, not getting the support he wants against the Kurdish people and the PKK, will not refrain from committing massacres in Europe’s capital Brussels, like the ones committed in Cizre and Sur.

March 23, 2016
ULAŞ ÖMER DEMİR
ANF

After France, simultaneous attacks targeting Belgium have claimed almost 40 lives, with around 200 injured people. The attacks targeted Zavantem International Airport and Maalbeek metro station. The security alarm in the country have been raised to the maximum level. The attack was claimed by ISIS, but considering the scope, attacks of this extent are extremely hard without aid from any country.

Two weeks before the attacks, following the EU-Turkey refugee deal, on March 8 a committee consisting of Belgium’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders, Minister of Interior Jan Jambon, Minister of Justice Koen Geens and Minister of Asylum and Migration Theo Francken visited Turkey.

The Belgian committee met with Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Minister of Interior Efkan Ala and Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdağ from the Turkish committee before the Turkey-Belgium Ministers of Foreing Affairs, Justice and Interior Affairs meeting on March 9.

The main agenda of the meeting was sharing information on ISIS recruits from Belgium and the joint efforts of police forces regarding common finger print databases. The Belgian committee knew going in to the meeting that the Turkish side would put the Kurds in Belgium and their institutions. The Belgian committee wanted to reach an agreement on sharing information on 1224 Belgian nationals with relations to ISIS.

Thinking they would reach said agreement with minor compromises regarding Kurds, the Belgian committee withdrew from the meeting when the Turkish side raised difficulties. The reason for the withdrawal was Turkish committee insisting on the arrest of Kurdish politicians (several politicians including Kongra Gel President Remzi Kartal, KCK Executive Council Member Zübeyr Aydar) in Belgium, their return to Turkey and the shutting down of Kurdish institutions (KNK, foundations and Kurdish press institutions). Pointing out that these requests would mean breaking their own laws, the Belgian committee withdrew from the agreement when the Turkish committee made the agreement harder at the last minute.

Minister of Asylum and Migration Theo Francken’s party NVA had the following statement on their website regarding the meeting: “The information provided by our side can be used against the Kurdish people, we cannot take this risk as it can be used with the intention of oppressing the Kurdish people.”

Francken also pointed out that they made a choice of principle by withdrawing from the agreement, which hinted that they were facing a Turkish committee with no regard to principles or law.

Before these meetings, the Kurds in Belgium put up a tent, with permission from Belgian authorities in front of the European Council building in Brussels to draw attention to Turkey’s massacres in Kurdistan. The Kurdish people wanted to draw both European and Belgian authorities’ attention to the massacres in Kurdistan with this action.

But failing to get what they wanted from the Belgian committee, Erdoğan and the AKP started pushing news that there was a “PKK Tent in front of the European Parliament” from their own visual and printed media. Despite the targeting, Belgian authorities didn’t intervene with the Kurds’ tent. First, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu targeted the Kurds’ tent and said it was a challenge to Turkey. Then Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan in a statement on March 18 said, “It may not mean much to you to watch the bombs exploding in Turkey from television screens. When the same bombs start to explode in your cities, you will definitely know what we feel. But then it will be too late. There is no reason that this bomb won’t explode in Brussels where terror sympathisers are allowed to put on a show in the middle of the city, or in any other city in EU.”

Following Erdoğan’s threat, the tent Kurds put up in front of the European Council was burned down by a group of fascists in the night of March 19. The burning of the tent in Europe’s capital, so easily and in a place covered inch by inch by cameras, and the failure to determine the perpetrators created questions. Reports say the police have told the Kurds on duty in the tent at night that they didn’t need to stay in the tent and the security of the place was in the police’s hands. The tent is attacked after the two guards leave, in the most protected part of Europe, and the attackers can not be caught. The attackers are yet to be apprehended, although they have taken selfies in the tent they burned and shared them on social media.

Despite the tent being burned down, the Kurds continued their demonstration in front of the European Council. And the tent was targeted by AKP media once again.

On the day of the attack in Belgium, March 22, 2016, AKP newspaper Star came out with the headline, “Terrorist Belgium”. The AKP newspaper the tent was repaired, Öcalan posters were put up again and the police was protecting the demonstrators, thus putting the tent in target again.

It is not a coincidence that Belgium’s Zavantem International Airport and Maalbeek metro station are targeted simultaneously on the day Star came out with the headline “Terrorist Belgium” and right after Erdoğan threatened Belgium on March 18. It is a clear indication that Erdoğan, not getting the support he wants against the Kurdish people and the PKK, will not refrain from committing massacres in Europe’s capital Brussels, like the ones committed in Cizre and Sur.

Erdogan calls PKK, ISIL 'tools of other evil forces'
http://www.worldbulletin.net/politics/170688/erdogan-calls-pkk-isil-tools-of-other-evil-forces

21 March 2016 Monday Turkish president also slams Belgian government for allowing PKK supporters in Brussels to pitch tents near EU-Turkey summit.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the PKK and ISIL terrorist organizations are serving evil agendas of other forces by carrying out attacks in Turkey.

In remarks made during a speech at an educational conference in Istanbul Sunday, Erdogan said: “When we think about why terrorist organizations such as the PKK and ISIL are targeting our country, we come across other forces and their intentions about Turkey”.

He said that both terrorist groups had the same end goal and were helping “the dirty agendas” of such forces despite having different names and using different methods.

ISIL is suspected of being behind Saturday’s blast on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street, which killed four people including three Israelis and an Iranian.

PKK tent incident in Brussels Erdogan also slammed the Belgian government over the recent PKK tent incident in Brussels.
On Thursday, the Belgian government had allowed PKK supporters to pitch their tents near the venue of the Turkey-EU summit in Brussels.

Although flags of the terrorist group were removed ahead of Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit, they were put back up after his departure.

“They call it 'freedom of thought'. What kind of a freedom of thought is that?” Erdogan asked.

“What was I supposed to say? Would I applaud you, and say that you did a good job?" he added.

"As long as you let those rags [flags] fly, you will keep hearing these remarks from us,” he said, adding that he asked Davutoglu to contact the Belgian authorities, followed by summoning of the Belgian ambassador to the Turkish Foreign Ministry Sunday.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu also called his Belgian counterpart Didier Reynders to express Turkey’s concerns.

Erdogan said friends should act as friends, and questioned Belgium's friendship: "What kind of a friendship is that?

“What we want is to make more friends, and fewer enemies. But, I think it is also our right to put those who do not know this in their place,” he said.



Controversial PKK tent in Brussels removed
http://www.worldbulletin.net/haber/170817/controversial-pkk-tent-in-brussels-removed

24 March 2016 Thursday - Belgian police reportedly orders tent to be removed following Tuesday’s bombings in Brussels, eyewitnesses say.

A controversial tent set up by PKK terrorist organization supporters in Brussels was removed Wednesday, eyewitnesses said.

Belgian police had reportedly ordered the rent to be removed following Tuesday’s bombings in Brussels, they said.

The tent was set up in front of the European Council building in Brussels just two days after a terrorist attack killed dozens of people in the Turkish capital Ankara. The PKK terrorist organization supporters had initially received permission from the Belgian government to set up the tent until the end of this month. Belgian government ministers had made no move to interfere with the tents, although they had pledged to cooperate in the fight against terrorism.

Since the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the EU – resumed its 30-year armed campaign in late July, more than 300 members of security forces have been martyred.

Turkey complained about EU member states’ indifference to the terrorist organization.



Belgium refusing Turkey's extradition requests
http://www.worldbulletin.net/haber/170808/belgium-refusing-turkeys-extradition-requests

23 March 2016 Wednesday - The Belgian government has repeatedly ignored Turkish requests to extradite suspects wanted for terrorism offenses, a source at the Turkish Justice Ministry said Wednesday.

Of 30 extradition requests for terrorists from terrorist groups such as the PKK and the far-left Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), Belgium has turned down 20, the source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking publicly.

The source did not give a timeframe for the requests but both groups have been active since the 1980s.

Among the requests turned down by Brussels was one for Zubeyir Aydar, the PKK’s so-called political leader.

Turkey has asked for the return of 56 people charged with purely criminal offenses, of which 35 have been approved and eight turned down, the source said. Ten cases are still ongoing while Turkey waived the requests for the other three.

Meanwhile, nine of the 13 extradition requests made to Turkey by Belgium have been accepted, two rejected and two are still being processed. Ankara has rejected one request for a terror suspect and returned one other.

Bekir Bozdag, Turkey’s minister of justice, met his Belgian counterpart Koen Geens earlier this month in Ankara in an effort to improve the rate of extraditions.



Belgium ministers offer to resign in row over attacks
http://www.worldbulletin.net/todays-news/170846/belgium-ministers-offer-to-resign-in-row-over-attacks

24 March 2016 Thursday - Justice and interior ministers say are ready to step down, but were asked by premier to stay.

Belgium's interior and justice ministers, under fire for intelligence failures linked to this week's triple suicide attacks in Brussels, offered to resign due to "errors" but were asked to remain in office.

Prime Minister Charles Michel, who turned down their offers to quit, meanwhile pledged the government would "shed light" on the attacks in Brussels as Belgium faced growing criticism for alleged security breaches.

"I confirm I tendered my resignation," Interior Minister Jan Jambon was quoted as telling the Le Soir daily on Thursday. "(Justice Minister Koen) Geens too. They were refused."

It has emerged that the three suicide bombers who left 31 dead and 300 injured in the attacks at Brussels airport and on a metro train were known to police.

Turkey meanwhile said that airport bomber Ibrahim El Bakraoui had been deported from Turkey as a "foreign terrorist fighter" but that Belgium had ignored intelligence it provided.

"There were errors at Justice and with the (Belgian) liaison officer in Turkey," the interior minister said.

Speaking as the nation held another minute of silence on the third and final day of mourning, Michel said "the government and the authorities in charge will do absolutely everything to shed light on the attacks."

"There can be no impunity ... there can be no shadow of a doubt," he said in a speech to the country's federal and regional parliaments, its senators, and King Philippe and his wife.



Kerry headed to Brussels to convey condolences
http://www.worldbulletin.net/haber/170822/kerry-headed-to-brussels-to-convey-condolences

24 March 2016 Thursday - Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Brussels later this week to personally convey condolences for victims of a terror attack in Brussels, the State Department said Wednesday.

During his trip Friday, Kerry will also meet with Belgian and European Union officials and reiterate support for the investigation into the attacks, according to a written statement.

He also said the latest U.S. travel alert for its citizens in Europe reflected the U.S.’s assessment that terrorist groups continued "to plan near term attacks throughout Europe".

The U.S., however, did not have knowledge of a specific threat to any city in Europe, he stressed.
