Belgium: Honors 10 Years Since the Jihadist Attacks in Brussels

Belgium is today honoring the ten years since the jihadist attacks in Brussels, which cost the lives of 32 people and injured more than 300. The suicide attacks, claimed by the Islamic State, took place at Brussels airport and metro, four days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the only survivor of the attacks in Paris. Belgian authorities say they have learned lessons from this tragedy, strengthening the fight against terrorism and intelligence gathering. Commemoration ceremonies include speeches, testimonies from survivors, and the presence of the royal couple. The anniversary coincides with the war in the Middle East, which has raised concerns about the possibility of new attacks. Recent attacks have taken place on synagogues in Belgium and the Netherlands. The terrorist threat in Belgium remains at a high level, with authorities on high alert.
