Five days after 28 victims died in the Brussels terror attacks four people remained unidentified — an agonizing delay for families waiting on news about their loved ones.

Among the dead are American couple Justin and Stephanie Shults, who were confirmed killed on Saturday, and New-York based siblings Sascha and Alexander Pinczowski, who were confirmed killed on Friday.

Former Belgium diplomat Andre Adam, who served as an ambassador to the United States in the 1990s, has also been confirmed dead. He was en route to the U.S. when he was killed at Brussels airport, the New York Times reported.

Mohammad’s family was an idol worshiping group like most others in the middle east Arab community. They worshipped the moon god which was named Allah and had the symbol of the crescent moon. You can see the crescent moon on their mosques and islam state flags. Mohammad declared that worship of other idols was forbidden.

A ground burst that would turn that black rock into radioactive glass along with the surrounding area.

Given their likely proximity to the blast and that these bombs were filled with shrapnel, positively identifying their remains was probably daunting. These Islamic sadists designed their bombs to kill and maim as many as innocent people as possible.
