Arrested this Tuesday morning in Brussels on Tuesday morning, the author of the Brussels attack died in the morning of this Tuesday, October 17, 2023. He died of his injuries in the hospital.
“The author of the terrorist attack in Brussels has been identified and died,” confirmed the Belgian Minister of the Interior, Annelies Verlinden.
Abdessalem Lassoued, a 45 -year -old Tunisian undocumented, spotted by police Tuesday morning in a Schaerbeek cafe, was touched by ball during his arrest.
His arrest had taken place in the Brussels commune of Schaerbeek, where a building had been searched during the night.
The radicalized man of Tunisian origin killed, last night, two Swedish nationals and injured a third in the street in Brussels.
According to the Minister of Justice, Vincent Van Quickenborne, this asylum seeker was sentenced to Tunisia “for common law offenses”, but was not reported for a terrorist risk.
The shooter posted a video on the social networks in which he affirms, in front of the camera, in Arabic with the Tunisian accent, that he claims to be of the Islamic State (Daesh) and which “lives and dies for his religion”. In the video, he presents himself as “Mohamed Abdessalam Meftah Lassoued”.
According to the Belgian Minister of Justice, Vincent Van Quickenborne, this Tunisian asked for asylum in Belgium in November 2019. He was known to the police for facts suspicious of trafficking in human beings, (of) illegal and (of) attacking the security of the State.
The survey of the Belgian federal prosecution responsible for terrorism files will converge on the Islamic State track, the attack not being linked to the conflict to the Middle East. But can we avoid the amalgam that will inevitably touch all Muslims?
