Belgian nuclear guard shot, prosecutor rules out militant link
BRUSSELS

Two days after bomb attacks at Brussels airport and on a packed metro killed 31 people and injured hundreds, a security guard who worked at a Belgian nuclear site was killed but the local prosecutor on Saturday ruled out any militant link.

The Charleroi prosecutor's office also denied media reports that his security pass had been stolen and been de-activated as soon as investigators raised the alarm, public broadcaster VTM said.

The office declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

Le Soir newspaper said the man was a guard at Belgium's national radioactive elements institute at Fleurus, to the south of Brussels.

A police spokeswoman said she could not comment because an investigation was ongoing.

In a nation on high alert following this week's attacks, the media reports tap into fears about the possibility militants are seeking to get hold of nuclear material or planning to attack a nuclear site.

On Thursday, DH had reported the suicide bombers who blew themselves up on Tuesday originally considered targeting a nuclear site, but a series of arrests of suspect militants forced them to speed up their plans and instead switch focus to the Belgian capital.

Late last year, investigators found a video tracking the movements of a man linked to the country's nuclear industry during a search of a flat as part of investigations into the Islamist militant attack on Paris on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people.

The video, lasting several hours, showed footage of the entrance to a home in northern Belgium and the arrival and departure of the director of Belgium's nuclear research program.

Quite, does seem rather keen to point out his choice of political party and leadership of it, my major though is the sentence, rather lenient all things considered.

Looks like the Belgians are finally getting their act together after all the recent criticism they've been receiving.

It also seems most media has been very selective in pointing out which politician they thought should be blamed for anothers actions too.

Looks like Palmyra is close to or has been recaptured.

A monitoring group has backed the Syrian government's claim that the city was recaptured overnight by the army.
Military sources say the Syrian army now has "full control". It had been gaining ground for several days, supported by Russian air strikes.

This kind of behaviour in Brussels certainly doesn't help anyone either.

Belgian police have fired water cannon to disperse self-declared fascists who stormed a central square in Brussels.
People had gathered at the Place de la Bourse to pay tribute at a makeshift memorial for victims of last Tuesday's deadly attacks.
Riot police intervened to try to restore order after the group confronted Muslim women in the crowds, made Nazi salutes and chanted.

Sadly to be expected, and there'll be plenty more where that came from, I'm sure.

Seems media is making unsubstantiated accusiations again or just plain making it up as they go along, who knows.

The BBC's Anna Holligan in Brussels says the group involved in the demonstration actually call themselves Casuals against Terrorism - not Fascists against Terrorism as earlier reported.

Some of the hundreds-strong group wore balaclavas and anonymous masks. Many wore black clothing. Some reports described them as football hooligans.
One of them, called Andres, told AFP news agency: "We are football hooligans, we don't have anything to do with politics."

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35907469

This behavior should be expected though when there is no control over immigration, terrorism , and your neighborhood explodes. THIS is what happens when you push too far and offend the native people. Muslims have radicalized the football hooligans!

Yep that whats happening we're all being radicalized by Muslims.
