A suspected suicide bomber who reportedly screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’ before triggering an explosion at Brussels Central Station has been gunned down and killed by soldiers.
Shots rang out soon after 8pm on Tuesday as police and soldiers moved in to ‘neutralise’ the man, who was said to be ‘threatening rail passengers’ in what is being treated as a terrorist incident.
The attacker’s body was left lying in the station for several hours as medics could not approach him for fear that the explosives strapped to him could go off any second, official authorities said.
Initial reports suggested the suspect – described as being ‘tanned, well-built and in his 30s’ – was wearing an explosive vest or rucksack, while witnesses later claimed he tried to blow up a trolley or a suitcase.
Terrified passengers inside the station ran towards the tracks as they tried to avoid the blast, while crying tourists outside fled in panic. Within a few minutes the busy nearby shops and restaurants were shut down.
A bomb squad performed a controlled explosion of a bomb belt the suspect had on at the Central Station and evacuated the city’s famed Grand Place square 650 feet away while checking to see if there more hazards.

UPDATE
There has been another stabbing, this time in Detroit.
The FBI said they are aware of reports that the attacker made statements immediately prior to or while attacking the officer, but it is too early to determine the nature of the alleged statements or whether or not it was an act of terrorism.
“Based on information that we have at this time, we believe this to be an isolated incident,” the FBI said in a statement.
Police said a suspect has been taken into custody.
frequency of these attacks is increasing exponentially. The coverage of the Brussels bombing was noticeably muted compared to previous attacks. This one will blow over in 24 hours as well. It’s clear the media is getting bored with these attacks. The question is if the normies are noticing that the current security strategies in the west are failing at faster and faster rates.
In his 30’s? A mere child then.
Somebody was on his toes. Good call.
“Terrorism has no place in Islam”
But lying for the purpose of deceiving unbelievers and infidels as well as fooling the willingly naive DOES “have a place in Islam” — it’s called kitman and Taqiyya.
In Islamic theology, Taqiyya is the permission for Muslims to lie, conceal their true intentions, and mislead ‘unbelievers’ and ‘enemies’ for the benefit of Islam and the Muslim community.
Muhammad himself was noted for lying and breaking his word to murder his defeated opponents, and to confuse and split infidels and the enemies for the benefit of the Muslim community.
A Muslim’s ‘word of honor’? You might as well believe Bill Clinton’s ‘word of honor’.
Well, terror, violence and lying all have places in Islam
