The shock of the tragedy – not only in Belgium and throughout Europe. Now the big question, how this could happen in the EU capital? And this despite the fact that the threat level in Brussels lately remained elevated. Intelligence agencies are looking for an accomplice of militants, and the experts say about the gross negligence of law enforcement officers. As it turned out, in the same airport had serious problems with the protection of the airfield.

The night – under the sirens, the noise of helicopters, explosions sappers. Brussels does not close his eyes, seething – from search and special operations. After the terrorist attacks – the third bomb at the airport – defused, a suspicious vehicle in the center of the city – was blown up by sappers. Next – a large-scale raid in the commune Skarbek. Flag “Islamic state” – an organization banned in many countries, including Russia, – chemicals, explosives – all found here. . In the neighborhood of a peaceful life

“I can not believe that people who live next to us, are capable of such I would have never thought that the threat is so close.” – Says one of the local . residents

“All this is terribly hard psychologically, what we want is to somehow get through this day and go home” – recognized the other

it is in the area of ​​Skarbek terrorists got into a taxi. . The bombs – in suitcases, bags – in the trunk. The driver asked the three men not to touch their belongings. Within a matter of hours, he saw a photo of its passengers on the television, he learns them terrorists and remember that they loaded the car not three, as in the photo, but more suitcases. Secret services it just helps you find the airport third explosive device. Filling – based on the maximum number of victims – nails.

“This nail we have learned from one of the victims, it’s like a thorn They still call it -. Studded bomb” – says security expert Guy Borgers

Presumably, the bomb. I worked at the two men, and the third – in a jacket and Panama – have not brought it into force, and disappeared. All together on the territory of the airport, they were virtually unhindered. No metal detector frames or inspection. Negligence, had resulted in tragedy – the words of representatives of trade unions in Brussels, as an echo of the attacks.

“There are problems with the admission system People quietly moving with the times, guest badges, without any protection There is a problem with the inspection of Its easy to get around and we will not be able to catch violators Result:…. The passengers get on a plane without . inspection there are gaps with security airfield sometimes happened that people found themselves out there and no one is not in control, “-. said the representative of the trade union of civil servants CGSP Pierre Goossens

The paradox -. given that the level of terrorist threat in Brussels recent months does not fall below a third. In the words of many who have come to honor the memory of the victims – a total thought we lived with a sense of threat, and we are not saved.

Personality terrorists has not yet been established. Their initial number – too. The police do not rule out Germany – Three men from Kosovo, who were detained in a car with Belgian numbers near the border with Austria – may be related to the attack. As long as it is not clear, the tragedy in Brussels – the main response to the detention of terrorist attacks in Paris granizatora Salah Abdelslama or not these events are connected?

“The threat level was really very large, so the attack was to be expected, however, I do not think that it was revenge for Abdelslama -. Can be as much as necessary to make assumptions, but no real confirmation yet,” – says Minister of the Interior Minister of Belgium Jan Yambon.

Meanwhile, the newspaper “Wall Street Journal” said that the operation in Molenbeek at the end of last week, on the contrary, catalyzing event in Brussels.

“the attacks were planned long, but their enforcement was accelerated after Friday Belgian authorities detained Abdeslama, who is wanted in Europe more actively than anyone else, as well as close to the members of the trained clandestine groups “in Syria – the newspaper writes

The tension, confusion and panic – are now common feeling for all of Europe. Suspicious bag, folding envelopes and even led to the evacuation of the channel and a publishing house in the Netherlands, the airport – in Denver, USA. In Amsterdam, in the pursuit of the car, the police opened fire. Electrified atmosphere – something that has to get used

“It’s horrible to realize, but we have become paranoid People are afraid to leave their homes, do not smile, they are afraid, but I think we should not give up to be happy…. Now the truth is difficult, but we need Though now of course I grieve together with all “, -. says a resident

The total grief and general safety measures. Italian authorities have decided to keep the second level of the terrorist threat. At airports – Barcelona, ​​Geneva, London, Kapengagena, Berlin – strengthening police outfits. Washington brought to the air hub riot protection. The heightened state of readiness of the Czech Republic are given special services. Against this background – the US State Department warning of new attacks in Europe. Which until dawn painted in the colors of the Belgian flag.
