Rabat - Belgian police officers are in Morocco to investigate a suspect who has confessed to murdering six prominent figures in Belgium in the 1980s. Abdelkader Belliraj, a Moroccan national, was arrested in Morocco last month together with dozens of other suspects regarded as the leading members of al-Qaeda in Morocco.
His victims in Belgium are thought to include a cleric at the Great Mosque in Brussels and a leading member of the Jewish community. He also worked since 2000 as an informer for the Belgian secret service and possibly the CIA.
Since Rabat never extradites Moroccan nationals, it is unlikely that Abdelkader Belliraj will ever stand trial in Belgium; however, police hope their investigation will put them on the trail of other terrorist suspects.
Ping
Investigate yes. Expel YES!
The dots just continue to pop up!
I wonder if the belgium secret service and the cia knew about his involvement in the 80’s.
Probably the cia knew nothing given their track record.
Good post knighthawk - have seen nothing in the press here.
