Brussels, Belgium — January 6, 2025: A potentially deadly attack was narrowly avoided this morning when a “radicalized” man in his twenties armed with a knife attempted to break into the offices of Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. The incident occurred at 16 rue de la Loi as the individual shouted “Allah Akbar,” an Islamic war cry, before being subdued by military police. Authorities have not released his name, sparking criticism over transparency in such cases.
A Known Threat Escalates
According to officials, the assailant had already been flagged by authorities and was the subject of a Nixon procedure, indicating prior psychiatric evaluation mandated by judicial authorities. Additionally, sources revealed the man had previously been arrested for making threats against the U.S. Embassy. Despite these warning signs, the individual managed to approach the heavily secured Chancellery with a steak knife, posing a grave threat to public safety.
Swift and Decisive Response
The attempted attack was thwarted by military police stationed at the site, who quickly overpowered the man before he could cause harm. Police spokespersons confirmed no injuries were reported among the officers or civilians. The suspect was immediately taken into custody, and an investigation into his motives and affiliations is underway.
“A man armed with a knife was overpowered by the military police,” said Barend Leyts, the Prime Minister’s communications director. “The man was taken to the police station. The military police officers were not injured during the incident.”
Prime Minister De Croo Responds
Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who was not present at the Chancellery during the attack, expressed his shock and gratitude to the responding officers. In a statement shared via his spokesperson, De Croo said, “We are relieved that no one was injured. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the military police for their swift and professional intervention. We are closely monitoring the situation.” […]
Nuke Brussels.
The poor man had an attack of low blood sugar and was desperately looking for the Aloha Snackbar. A big misunderstanding.

"MUSLIMS" ....A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.
And in America, now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!
Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???
5 posts and nothing from The Simpsons? He was on their radar. LOL
“He was the subject of a Nixon Procedure”, meaning he was already on record as a Known Kook, prone to violence.
Maybe the Belgian Minister of Health, who mandated covid vaccines could have jumped on him.

Police mystified as to motive.
I’ve been known to shout Where’s the snack bar.
Indeed. They have only themselves to blame.
Obviously a complaint about building permits or something.
I thought knives were outlawed in Europe.
