Belgian police alerted to IS fighters en route to Europe
Belgian police have received an anti-terror alert warning that a group of Islamic State fighters recently left Syria en route for Europe planning attacks in Belgium and France, a security source said on Wednesday.
The
Belgian crisis centre in charge or coordinating security responses said
that an alert had been circulated to all police forces in the country
but there were no immediate plans to raise the security level to the
maximum that would indicate an imminent threat of an attack.
Newspaper DH quoted the alert from Belgium's anti-terror cell as saying the group "left Syria about a week and a half ago to reach Europe via Turkey and Greece by boat without passports", without giving an exact departure date.
The
alert came two days after an attacker who pledged allegiance to Islamic
State killed a French police commander and his partner at their home
outside Paris, and four days after a gunman declaring loyalty to the
Islamist militant group massacred 49 people in a gay nightclub in
Orlando, Florida.
