Reported Plot to Strike Belgian Premier Foiled
Belgian police have arrested three suspects allegedly involved in planning an assault on the government's PM, Bart de Wever.
Federal prosecutors labeled the reported scheme as a terrorist act motivated by jihadist ideology targeting the prime minister and additional politicians.
During investigations conducted in Deurne, Antwerp, close to the prime minister's home, authorities uncovered a alleged improvised explosive device and evidence that the individuals were planning to use a drone.
While the planned victims of the assault were not disclosed by name by the federal prosecutors, Vice Premier Maxime Prevot confirmed that de Wever was among them.
"The news of a planned assault aimed at Premier Bart de Wever is deeply alarming," the deputy prime minister declared in a post on online platforms on the day of the arrests.
"It highlights that we are confronting a serious terrorist threat and that we have to remain vigilant," he continued.
The three individuals detained on charges of terrorism-related attempted murder and engagement in the activities of a extremist organization all reside in Antwerp, according to the prosecutor's office. They were born in 2001, 2002 and 2007.
By the evening of the arrests, one suspect was let go, while the remaining two were undergoing questioning and expected to be presented before a court on the following day.
Federal prosecutors stated that the accused were detained after a judge directed searches of their dwellings in the location by officials assisted by explosive sniffer dogs.
In the course of these searches that they located a device which appeared to be an IED, legal representative Ann Fransen stated at a media briefing on Thursday.
Searches also revealed a "bag of steel balls" and a three-dimensional printer, with signs of drone weaponization plans, she continued.
The official disclosed that there had been 80 terrorism investigations launched in Belgium in the current year - exceeding the full amount of instances in last year.
During the spring, five suspects were convicted for a previous year's plan to strike the prime minister while he was holding the position of Antwerp's mayor.
