Belgian Forces Arrest 14 Extremists in Plot to Free Jailed Terror Suspect

Friday, December 21, 2007

BRUSSELS, Belgium ? Belgian police Friday arrested 14 Muslim extremists suspected of planning to free an Al Qaeda sympathizer imprisoned for planning a terrorist attack on U.S. air base personnel, officials said.

Security was heightened at airports, subway stations and other public places across the capital, and the U.S. Embassy issued a warning to Americans that "there is currently a heightened risk of terrorist attack in Brussels" although it had no indication of any American targets.

According to the U.S.-based military affairs think tank GlobalSecurity.org, the Kleine Brogel Air Base is home to Belgian F-16 warplanes equipped with nuclear weapons that are under U.S. control.

Trabelsi, who testified that he intended kill American soldiers, says he met Usama bin Laden in Afghanistan and asked to become a homicide bomber. He was arrested in Brussels on Sept. 13, 2001. Police later discovered the raw materials for a huge bomb in the back of a Brussels restaurant.
