On Thursday, May 4th, Belgian police arrested seven individuals suspected of preparing for a terrorist attack. As reported by several Belgian media outlets, the suspects have been described as “fervent” acolytes of the jihadist group, the Islamic State (IS).
Of the seven, four are Chechen by birth while three are Belgian citizens. They were apprehended during a series of raids in Ghent and the West Flanders region.
All are in their 20s and are still being interrogated; they face charges of participating in terrorist group activities and preparing a terrorist attack.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
A Muslim waits there
To try to kill you.
