The world again grieving aftermath of the terror attacks in the form of suicide bombings that occurred in Brussels, Belgium on 22 March. Suicide bombings carried out by Najim Laachraoui, Khalid El Bakraoui and Brahim El Bakraoui, claimed the attack was part of the ISIS / IS happening at Zaventem Airport and Metro Station Maelbeek, killing 36 people and injuring about 300 others. The incident is said to be an act of revenge carried out by Islamic militants over the arrest of Salah Abdeslam Belgium (terrorists Paris) on March 18 last.
Paris terror attacks and Belgium are very closely linked, both attacks were carried out by militants Belgium located in Molenbeek. Salah Abdeslam a feeder logistics in terror Paris who managed to escape from the pursuit of the authorities and returned to Molenbeek, Najim Laachraoui (one bomber Belgium) is a maker of suicide vests used in terror bombing Paris. While El Bakraoui (brothers bombers Belgium) is a friend of One Abdeslam who wrote the last message on his personal computer. The contents of the message is “I do not know what to do. I am in a hurry. I’m on the run. People are looking for me everywhere. And if I surrendered myself, I then ended up in jail like him,” the message was that strengthen assuming that the terror bombings in Belgium is revenge.
However, acts of terror remains a crime that is definitely planned, especially brain terror bombing which Belgium is Najim Laachraoui a veteran soldier ISIS in Syria and has the ability to create a high-explosive bomb. In addition to the arrest of Najim Laachraoui not prove that the action is the action terncana, the terrorists have to have an escape plan very tidy without being caught by the authorities. While El Bakraoui brothers used by Najim Laachraoui as pawns in suicide bombings, by exploiting their fears over the arrest of Salah Abdeslam.
After the attacks of Paris, the US anti-terrorism experts, Clint Watts, writing “theory of ice floes terror plot”, ie any attackers typically supported several other people who helped facilitate the attack, but all you see is the tip of the ice. Watts believes the bombing of Brussels is a continuation of the Paris attacks, and it is unclear is whether the parties are still at large will be planning further attacks.
In anticipation of further attacks that could occur, the security forces should be able to increase the supervision and inspection procedures contained in the crowded center so that a high-explosive bomb does not escape again from the supervision of the security forces, such as those in airports and metro stations Belgium. Moreover, the whole society should not fear the terror committed by the militancy, especially those that use the name of ISIS. Because they are the destroyers of Islam as well as our common enemy that we must fight together.
