Brussels the Next Day

Many Belgians never encountered a strange request as this until today, to
open (their) bag and undergo an inspection at the entrance to the metro,
mall or train. In Brussels, (they’re) not taking unnecessary risks today. At
least one of the terrorists at the airport, Najim Laachraoui, escaped and
hasn’t been caught yet. In the investigation so far it turns out that two
brothers were among the terrorists. Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui, and
that it was great luck that prevented a worse attack. A taxi driver that took
the three terrorists to the airport told that he picked them up in a small taxi,
they had five booby-trapped suitcases that didn’t fit into the taxi, and so
they angrily only took three with them. At twelve PM the city of Brussels
stood still in memory of the thirty one victims. At the Jewish museum in
Brussels, where a terror attack took place that took the lives of four
(people) on May two thousand fourteen, employees stood in front of the
commemorative plaque that was placed (there). Though the terror attacks
yesterday were turned towards all of Belgium, [but] the Jews are still a risk
group. Brussels now enters a testing time. A test for the Belgian society,
for the residents of Brussels, and mostly a test for security authorities who
thus far have not been able to properly handle the challenges that turned
up.
