Follow up to my earlier post about 14 Belgians arrested for being al Qaeda members. It turns out one of them is Malika El-Aroud, who has been arrested in the past for running an al Qaeda support website. If you speak French and hang around the eHadis, you'd probably recognize her from her frequent appearances at the minbar-sos forum.

“Belgium detains al-Qaeda suspects”
ARTICLE SNIPEPT: “Police in Belgium say they have arrested 14 people suspected of being members of the al-Qaeda network.
Federal Prosecutor Johan Delmulle said police believed one of those held was planning to carry out a suicide attack.
The suspect had been given the go-ahead for the attack and had already said good-bye to his family, he added.
Correspondents say the authorities appear to have been prompted to act immediately as EU leaders were holding an end-of-year meeting in Brussels.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Officials have not released the names of all the people arrested on Thursday, but Belgian media are reporting that they include Malika El Aroud, a Moroccan-born Belgian online writer who was accused by a judge in 2003 of having “utterly extremist ideas”.
Ms El Aroud’s first husband, Abdessatar Dahmane, died in the suicide bombing in Afghanistan in September 2001 that killed the leader of the anti-Taleban Northern Alliance, Ahmed Shah Massoud.”
Ping to the whole thread.
Attack prevented.
It kind of gives one a 9/10/01 kind of feeling here.
Good for Belgium and all who may have helped to
prevent this attack.

“Belgians Arrest 14 In Terror Raids”
Posted by Sheila MacVicar| 10
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Update, 9:25 EST: All 14 of the suspects will go before investigating magistrates Thursday afternoon. Under Belgian law, they must be charged or released within 24 hours.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A video was sent to Belgian and Dutch TV networks at the end of November threatening attacks in Belgium.
Sources say documents and computers have been seized, but there has been no indication that explosives were found.
The investigation by Belgian authorities began in Dec. 2007, following interception of plans to help convicted al Qaeda in Belgium leader Nizar Trabelsi escape from jail. Police say they concentrated their probe on a group of Belgian Islamic extremists who traveled to either Afghanistan or Pakistan to participate in combat and undergo training and who are “closely linked” to “important al Qaeda figures.””
Yep.
not guilty! wait, I may need more evidence...
Isn’t Belgium where busted terrorists get released on probation while criticizing terrorists will get you bankrupted, silenced, and jailed?
Why, when the subject is Islam and jihad, those words are never added to keywords?
The global jihad, jihad and other similar words are in my keywords safeb1.

“Europe in the Eye of the Storm”
By OLIVIER GUITTA (Middle East Times)
Published: December 15, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Out of the 14 arrested, six have already been charged with membership of a terrorist group. Some of those charged were of Moroccan origin [for more on this please view my last week’s column The Moroccan Terror Connection]. All are Belgian citizens, including two converts to Islam. Among the charged, is cyber jihadist star Malika al-Aroud, whose first husband killed himself when he murdered anti-Taliban fighter Ahmed Massoud on Sept. 9, 2001. Her second husband, Moez Garsalloui, is believed to be the leader of the cell and is reportedly in Afghanistan.
Interestingly regarding this plot, on Nov. 25, Saudi TV Al-Arabiya reported that an Islamist group threatened to carry out bloody attacks in Belgium such as the ones in London and Madrid. The group claimed it wanted to punish Belgium for its contribution to the war in Afghanistan.
Even if Europe has not witnessed a major attack since 2005, it does not mean it is not a major target for al-Qaida. In fact, in the last year major terror cells were dismantled in France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Gilles de Kerchove, the EU’s counterterrorism czar considers al-Qaida the biggest threat to Europe.”

“France detains man linked to jihadist recruitment ring”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PARIS — French authorities have detained a suspect accused of participating in a recruitment ring for fighters against the government of Afghanistan.
An official says an anti-terrorism judge has issued preliminary charges against the 29-year-old suspect for alleged “criminal association with a terrorist enterprise” and ordered him locked up.
The man was arrested Thursday in the southeastern city of Grenoble on suspicion of links to an Internet site in Belgium aimed at recruiting jihadists to send to Afghanistan.
According to investigators, at least two people used information on the site to travel to Afghanistan.
The website has been linked to Malika El Aroud, the Belgian widow of a man involved in the killing of anti-Taliban warlord Ahmed Shah Massoud two days before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.”
