But at a news conference Wednesday in Ankara, Erdogan said Turkey had detained Ibrahim el Bakraoui in July 2015, and deported him back to Europe after informing the Belgian Embassy. Bakraoui was sent to the Netherlands, at his request, NPR's Peter Kenyon reports, but Belgian authorities were notified about his detention and potential threat. Despite Turkey's warnings, Erdogan says, Belgium couldn't find any ties to terrorism — so the Netherlands released Bakraoui. |

Whoops.
I bet they won't do that again.... Well, yeah, they probably will. |

I don't understand the problem. They investigated, failed to find a credible threat and let him go.
What were they supposed to do? Consult their crystal ball and discover he would later be involved in a terrorist plot? |

That thread from yesterday where one of our counter terror guys said the Belgians are like children when it comes to the threat of Islam was right on the money.

Belgium is France's and Germany's Mini-Me. View Quote The same far left socialists who are killing their citizens to create the ideal post-racial, post-religious society. There will come a time when we will have to abandon the idiots who can't seem to realize what they are doing is against the survival of their own culture. Sacrificing the idiots in W. Europe seems like a fair trade to eradicate liberalism and socialism forever. |

They were warned.
. " the full Haaretz report: The Belgian security services, as well as other Western intelligence agencies, had advance and precise intelligence warnings regarding the terrorist attacks in Belgium on Tuesday, Haaretz has learned. The security services knew, with a high degree of certainty, that attacks were planned in the very near future for the airport and, apparently, for the subway as well. Despite the advance warning, the intelligence and security preparedness in Brussels, where most of the European Union agencies are located, was limited in its scope and insufficient for the severity and immediacy of the alert. As far as is known, the attacks were planned by the headquarters of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Raqqa, Syria, which it has pronounced as the capital of its Islamic caliphate. The terror cell responsible for the attacks in Brussels on Tuesday was closely associated with the network behind the series of attacks in Paris last November. At this stage, it appears that both were part of the same terrorist infrastructure, connected at the top by the terrorist Salah Abdeslam, who was involved in both the preparation for the Paris attacks and its implementation. Abdeslam escaped from Paris after the November attacks, hid out in Brussels and was arrested last week by the Belgian authorities. Abdeslam's arrest was apparently the trigger for Tuesday's attacks, due to the concern in ISIS that he might give information about the planned attacks under interrogation, particularly in the light of reports that he was cooperating with his captors. The testimony of the detained terrorist, alongside other intelligence information, part of which concerned ISIS operations in Syria, should have resulted in much more stringent security preparedness in crowded public places in Brussels, along with a heightened search for the cell. |

I am going with we nor the Europeans just cannot do a good enough background check on these "refugee's."

They're (Europe) going to have to make some serious course corrections to fix this problem they've got themselves into. And it's doubtful they'll have the backbone to do it since what is needed would be highly unpopular with liberal progressives, which they basically all are. Except some from the east.

Don't know the details of the case.
If he was in custody (and you want to keep him in custody) here : -Needs to be (suported by evidence) suspected of a crime. -Belgium would need to ask for his exradition (something they did not do as far as i know) and you could hold him until you hand him over. |

Are you suggesting all we need to start locking people is some guy in another country to tell us he's "a bad guy?" Cause that's fucking silly. You still have to build a case. It's not enough that Turkey says he's a bad guy; he has to be bad in a way that violates codified law, and it has to be proven in court. Just because Turkey says this, doesn't mean they've said it in a way that will stand up to legal scrutiny. Turkey is overrun with refugees from Syria and in/out flux of ISIS fighters and sympathizers - are they putting a lot of detail in these deportation cases, or just happy to get them the heck out of Turkey for the time being? So far, the most likely flag in the system for these brothers was something like a parole violation by one of them. It looks like the information on the other brother passed along by Turkey concerning radicalism didn't meet the threshold for legal action in Belgium, thus the release by the Netherlands. How high up the watch list did these things place them? How did these things differentiate them, if at all, from the common 1st/2nd generation immigrant street crime? Putting everybody on the watch list and making everybody a top priority isn't productive. |
