Not to worry, the rodent or megahurts will find a way to link it.....false flag? anyone?
Oh this has the Jooze and CIA fingerprints all over it!
And who is ISIS... Jooze and CIA!
You can't call them ISIS. That's racist and Islamophobic. BBC News and Sky News have got it right - they call them "So-called Islamic State", because they know that they have nothing to do with Islam. Remember - So-called Islamic State is the name that we should be calling them.
Way to go trolls, you have solved the case already. You undying support for them says a lot about your inner-self, about as black as it gets. With you guys solving this one that pretty much clears up Turkey and the rash on explosions that have been rocking their cities.
Turkey’s Erdogan Mentions Possible Brussels Bombing Just Days Before Attack
Less than a week before the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned of possible bombings in European cities, including Brussels.
"There is no reason why the bomb that exploded in Ankara could not explode in Brussels, or in any other European city," Erdogan declared during a ceremony commemorating the 101st anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli in the coastal town of Canakkale on March 18.
It should be noted that Erdogan’s statement followed the deadly terrorist act of March 13, when a car bomb exploded at a bus stop near Ankara’s central Kizilay Square, leaving 37 dead and over 120 injured. The Turkish head of state blamed Kurdish radicals for the attack and berated European leaders for their refusal to recognize certain Kurdish organizations as terrorist groups.

The Drudge headlines tell the story.

Fascinating the liberal left hive mind. Anyone know where this "let's not politicise Brussels" meme originated?

You do have a certain stench about you. How many posts does that make for you that has been off topic for the thread. If I am so important to you and the other trolls perhaps you should start your own thread.
BBC - Future - What is the best way to stop internet trolls?
The researchers stress that their algorithm is not intended to be a computerised replacement for human moderators, which might automatically ban users based on the frequency of their first few posts. Instead, the team hopes that flagging certain individuals early on would assist human moderators in warning anti-social users to cut out bad behaviour before they assume that they can get away with it. As Danescu-Niculescu-Mizi says, “You need humans in the loop.”
Interestingly, there have also been initiatives to turn trolling against the trolls. One example was the Zero Trollerance campaign by activist group The Peng Collective. Here, Twitter bots were used to automatically target people whose tweets appeared to be abusive. These users were given a somewhat tongue-in-cheek offer to take part in a “self-help programme” to end their trolling.

Pretty strange request.
Brussels Attacks: Will European Leaders Again Profit From Terror They Helped Unleash?
A strange aspect of these conflicts is that Western leaders have never had to pay any political price for their role in initiating them or pursuing policies that effectively stoke the violence.
Isis a growing power in Libya, something that would not have happened had David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy not helped destroy the Libyan state by overthrowing Gaddafi in 2011.
Al-Qaeda is expanding in Yemen, where Western leaders have given a free pass to Saudi Arabia to launch a bombing campaign that has wrecked the country.
After the Paris massacre last year there was a gush of emotional support for France and little criticism of French policies in Syria and Libya, although they have been to the advantage of and other salafi-jihadi movements since 2011.
...
By taking up the cause of the Syrian and Libyan opposition and destroying the Syrian and Libyan states, France and Britain opened the door to and should share in the blame for the rise of and terrorism in Europe.
By refusing to admit to or learn from past mistakes, the West Europeans did little to lay the basis for the current, surprisingly successful “cessation of hostilities” in Syria which is almost entirely an US and Russian achievement.
Britain and France have stuck close to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies in their policies towards Syria. I asked a former negotiator why this was so and he crisply replied: “Money. They wanted Saudi contracts.”
After the capture of Salah Abdeslam there is talk of security lapses that had allowed him to evade arrest for so long, but this is largely irrelevant as terrorist attacks will go on as long as Isis remains a power.
Once again, the wall-to-wall media coverage is allowing Western governments to escape responsibility for a far worse security failure, which is their own disastrous policies.
