In a concerning and tragic incident in Brussels, a terrorist has been identified as Abdesalem Lassoued, a 45-year-old Tunisian citizen, who is currently residing in Belgium illegally.
Lassoued’s actions have sent shockwaves through the city, as he has been riding around on a scooter, carrying out shootings with an AK-47, resulting in the loss of two lives.
His presence in Belgium, without legal documentation, has raised significant questions about how he entered the country and whether there were security lapses that allowed him to remain undetected.
This incident sheds light on the importance of robust immigration and security measures to prevent the entry of individuals with a history of terrorism.
The gunman alleged in a video that he is “a fighter for Allah,” and that he “took revenge in the name of Muslims”, claiming that he had killed three people.
