Belgian police arrest ninth Paris suspect in Brussels

By Robert Hackwill

Belgian police have arrested a ninth suspect on their soil suspected of being involved in the November attacks in Paris.

The man, named as Abdoullah C, is the subject of an international terrorist warrant. He was detained on Tuesday in a raid on a central Brussels location but Belgian police have only just released the information.

Belgian police say he was contacted by Hasna Ait Boulahcen just after the killings in the French capital when she was trying to organise a hideout for her cousin, Abdelhamid Abbaoud.

The French police say he was the ringleader of the attacks. Both he and Hasna died when police stormed their flat in St Denis.

She had to collect Abdelhamid in a taxi from some wooded ground in which he hid for several days before making it to the hideout. Police insist she must have had help from other parties.

It seems that a lot of these suspected terrorists end up in Belgium.

It seems that a lot of these suspected terrorists end up in Belgium.

Belgium is the ' beneficiary ' of a growing Muslim population.

This population has definite ideas regarding future political development in Belgium and elsewhere.

Finally they (police) have something to do over there, cleaning up the mess that was, mostly by Socialist councils, created during the past 20 years. Didn't we hear Belgium is "a failed state" some time ago!!!?? Have a feeling that under international (French) pressure they have awoken from their long wintersleep...

Europe is toast. The amazing thing to me is that it asked for it. Europe invited it. Unflappinbelievable. The citizens are unarmed and have no way to defend themselves from the coming "cleansing". Unflappinbelievable. It's just a matter of time now.

Cheers.

And the King of Belgium warned against.....(drum roll)....... Islamophobia!

The Belgians I know are very non-committal... They do not act until it is necessary.

And if someone pisses them off...they turn on their intelligence.

These guys pissed them off.

Don't muck with Belgians.

They're smart.
