The suspect who uploaded a video boasting of murdering infidels before he was shot, was flagged as radicalised months ago
Police officers at the scene of the shooting of the suspect believed to have killed two football fans, in Schaerbeek, Brussels, on Tuesday Belgian authorities, who on Monday night raised the terror threat warning in Brussels to four, its highest level, urged locals to remain vigilant, as schools and universities closed for the day, while many offices, including the European Commission, asked employees to work from home.
The suspect has been identified as Abdeslam Lassoued, a 45-year-old Tunisian, who appears to have acted alone. Bystanders watching from a window filmed him last night as he assembled his rifle on the pavement on the Boulevard d’Ypres next to the canal. Although there was little foot traffic, he was in full view, wearing a fluorescent orange raincoat.
The shooting prompted a massive manhunt, and police were eventually alerted this morning when Mr Lassoued was seen at the Al Khaima café in Schaerbeek. They surrounded the café and shot him in the thorax. He died about an hour later on the way to the hospital. Mr Lassoued was known to the police for, among other things, people smuggling, and had applied for asylum in November 2019 but was rejected. By the time he was ordered to leave in 2021, the authorities had lost track of him.
