At least three people were killed in a shooting in central Brussels at the city's Jewish museum on Saturday in what Belgian officials said could be an anti-Semitic attack.

 

Two women and one man were immediately reported dead, and another person was said to be seriously wounded in the attack. However, Belgian newspaper La Libre later reported the death toll at four.

 

A man has been arrested in connection with the deadly shooting at the museum, Belgium's public prosecutor said, according to Belga news agency. Police are currently looking for a second suspect.

This mass shooting in Santa Barbara is just disgusting. How many more times can America just shrug and do nothing after these outrages?

Brussels Terror Suspect Has 'Ties to Islamic Radicals in Syria'
6/1/14


A Frenchman with suspected ties to Islamic radicals in Syria has been arrested over last week's fatal shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, investigation sources told AFP on Sunday.

The 29-year-old was arrested in the southern French city of Marseille on Friday and had a Kalashnikov and another gun with him, a French police source told Reuters. The man, named by the source as Mehdi Nemmouche, was from the northern French city of Roubaix.

French media reported that he was suspected of having stayed in Syria with jihadist groups in 2013.

Brussels attack possible result of French blunder

June 13, 2014

 

An error by French authorities may have been the reason that measures weren’t taken to preemptively arrest 29-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche and prevent last week’s shooting attack at a Jewish Museum in Brussels, reported France’s Le Nouvel Observateur Tuesday.

 

Nemmouche is the chief suspect in the shooting that killed at least three people including an Israeli couple from Tel Aviv. Upon his arrest he was found with a video in which a voice said the film was made because a camera meant to broadcast the killings live failed to function.

 

According to the French publication, Paris Prosecutor Francois Mullens said in a press conference that after being radicalized in prison and traveling to Syria to join in the civil war, Nemmouche had been added to “List S”, a list used by French security forces that names individuals considered to be a threat to state security.

Brussels Jewish Museum killer was IS torturer

French journalist who was held hostage by extremists in Syria identifies gunman Mehdi Nemmouche as one of his captors

A French journalist held hostage for months by * extremists Lying Murderous Scumbags in Syria identified one of his captors Saturday as a Frenchman suspected of later killing four at the Brussels Jewish Museum, saying the militant had took sadistic delight in mistreating prisoners.

 

Nicolas Henin said he often heard Mehdi Nemmouche, who he said was among his captors from July 2013 to December 2013, torturing Syrians who were being held in the same former hospital basement. Once, Henin told reporters, Nemmouche punched him in the face and then showed off his gloves.

 

He was very proud, telling me You saw these motorcycle gloves? I bought them just for you, to punch you in the face. Did you like them? That sums up the violent and provocative personality of Mehdi Nemmouche that I frequently saw, Henin said.

Belgium frees suspected Jewish museum attack accomplice
Nov. 22 2016

BRUSSELS (AFP) -

The Belgian authorities have freed on bail a Frenchman suspected of helping in the May 2014 attack at the Brussels Jewish Museum, which left four people dead, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Nacer Bendrer was released against a 50,000-euro bond, ordered to stay at his home in France and make himself available to investigators, the Belga news agency reported. A spokesman for Belgian federal prosecutors declined to comment when contacted by AFP.

Bendrer, arrested in December 2014 near the southern French city of Marseille, was sent to Belgium to face charges of "complicity in a terrorist attack".

When he was detained, Bendrer was in possession of various weapons including an AK-47 style assault rifle similar to the one that Frenchman Mehdi Nemmouche is suspected of using to carry out the attack.
