And again, the Belgians are under pressure because of the attacks include the Bataclantheater in Paris.
The Belgian anti-terror unit was already in the summer of 2014 in a tip that the perpetrators were busy preparing attacks.
That report police sources to the Belgian newspapers L'Echo and De Tijd. The tip would come from someone around Salah and Brahim Abdeslam, two of the perpetrators of the attacks. Salah is currently still missing.
The source would have said that the two brothers were preparing an attack, and that they had contact with Abdelhamid Abaaoud, which is seen as the mastermind of the attacks.
RELIABLE SOURCE
Despite the fairly detailed tip opened the anti-terror unit no investigation. This is remarkable, because the source did not just all sorts of details about the plans of the brothers, but the intelligence unit had also previously worked with the source. Which was thus considered to be reliable.
Half a year later opened the local police in the Brussels district of Molenbeek such proceedings. Abdeslam The brothers were then questioned but were not arrested because there was not enough evidence. The file was closed in June 2015, several months before the attacks took place in Paris.
'AMATEURISM'
Committee P, which was set up to monitor the Belgian police, must now decide whether mistakes were made. Police sources say the Belgian media that the attacks could have been prevented. One of them speaks ,, of amateurism. "Others find that it is easy in retrospect to establish that the attacks could have been prevented.
