Alleged Plan to Strike Belgian Premier Thwarted
Belgium's authorities have taken into custody three suspects allegedly involved in planning an assault on the country's premier, Bart de Wever.
Federal prosecutors labeled the alleged plan as a extremist assault with jihadist roots targeting the prime minister and additional elected representatives.
During investigations conducted in Antwerp's Deurne district, in proximity to the PM's private residence, officials discovered a alleged IED and proof that the accused were intending to deploy a UAV.
While the planned victims of the attack were not officially named by the prosecutor's office, Vice Premier Maxime Prevot confirmed that de Wever was one of them.
"Reports of a intended strike targeting PM Bart de Wever is profoundly disturbing," the deputy prime minister wrote in a post on X on Thursday.
"It highlights that we are confronting a genuine terrorist threat and that we have to keep watchful," he continued.
The three individuals detained on charges of terrorism-related attempted murder and engagement in the functions of a terrorist group all reside in the city of Antwerp, according to the federal prosecutors. They were had birth years in three different years between 2001 and 2007.
On Thursday evening, one person was released, while the remaining two were still being questioned and likely to be presented before a court on the next day.
Federal prosecutors said that the suspects were taken into custody after a judge directed raids of their dwellings in the location by law enforcement supported by bomb detection canines.
Throughout these raids that they discovered a device which closely resembled a homemade bomb, legal representative Ann Fransen stated at a press conference on the day of the events.
Searches also uncovered a "bag of steel balls" and a 3D printer, with "indications that they intended to use a drone to attach a payload", she continued.
The official said that there had been 80 terrorism investigations initiated in the country in the current year - more than the overall count of investigations in last year.
In April, five suspects were convicted for a scheme last year to attack the prime minister while he was serving as the city's chief executive.
