Brussels office of the European Union under threat of terrorists


The EU is under terrorism threat from Islamic terrorists as has been revealed by interrogation of a man and woman who were detained in Turkey on their way back from Syria theguardian.com. The duo was plotting an assault on the Berlaymont building, which houses the European commission and is the main office in Brussels of the European Union.
This is, incidentally, the second time in four months about possibility of attacks and is based on reports of the couple who were detained in Belgium where investigators were said to have proof of a planned attack.
The couple are supposed to be resident in The Hague in the Netherlands and of Turkish origin and they were said to have been arrested at Brussels airport after returning from Syria via a flight from Turkey. They may be charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, of breaking laws on possession of weapons, and of funding terrorism.
It seems nearly four-hundred Belgians have reportedly travelled to Syria to join the extremists – they usually go via Turkey and its long, porous border into the war zone. That figure is much lower than the estimates for Britain, France or Germany, but, Belgium is believed to have the highest number in Europe of would-be jihadists traveling to Syria.
