A logical conclusion to a logical response.
Expect crickets from the usual fear mongerers.
Paris attacks mastermind confirmed dead in St-Denis
The presumed mastermind of the Paris attacks that killed 129 people on Friday was killed in a shootout on Wednesday, the French prosecutor has said.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud’s body has been formally identified at the Rue de Corbillon in the Paris suburb following the raid at St-Denis, the prosecutor said.
Belgian authorities today launched six raids in the Brussels region linked to Bilal Hadfi, one of the suicide bombers in Friday’s attacks.
At least one of the raids, in Laeken in northern Brussels, is directly connected to the Friday night attacks, Belgian media reported.
The other raids, taking place in various locations across the city, including Molenbeek, are targeting those believed to have links with Bilal Hadfi, a twenty-year old jihadist who blew himself up outside Stade de France in Paris on Friday night.
In addition to the raid in Laeken, searches are underway in the districts of central Brussels, Jette, Uccle and Molenbeek. Uccle, a leafy suburban area in the south of the city, is the location of a number of embassies and official residences.
News of the raids emerged as Belgian prime minister Charles Michel announced a sweeping set of measures that are to be introduced in the wake of attacks. Among the 18 measures that have been announced are an extension of the time suspected terrorists can be held from 24 hours to 72 hours, electronic tagging of terrorists, a € 400 million increase in the security budget and the deployment of 520 extra police officers.
Authorities say a second attack was foiled when Swat teams laid siege to a flat in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis for seven hours in a major pre-dawn raid on Wednesday.
