PARIS ATTACKS: ISIS SUICIDE SQUAD ‘KEPT WEAPONS ARSENAL IN BELGIAN KINDERGARTEN’

The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) network behind the suicide bomb assaults in Paris and Brussels likely hid their weapons on the premises of a kindergarten in Belgium, according to a handwritten map drawn by Salah Abdeslam, the last living member of the terrorist cell behind the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015.

The ISIS-affiliated network was behind the attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead, ISIS’s deadliest attack in Europe, in addition to the triple suicide bombing at Brussels airport and that city’s Maelbeek metro station that left 32 people dead.

As the manhunt for Abdeslam continued in March 2016, Belgian investigators raided his safe house in the Forest district of Brussels. He escaped but left an HP laptop that contained a map titled “Salah” that showed two buildings: a kindergarten and an elementary school, Dutch-language Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reported, citing a leaked Belgian intelligence document.
