Brussels Attacks: A Failure of Belgian Intelligence or Tragic Coincidence

In the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels which claimed the lives of 34 people and left 230 wounded, many security experts have come to a very distressing conclusion: the Belgian tragedy was a result of the incompetence and complete failure of the country’s intelligence service.

“In such cases all the law enforcement services are put on high alert: the security of the entire strategic and transport infrastructure is intensified and the major purpose of the intelligence services is to prevent repeated attacks. The second objective is to identify and detain all those involved in masterminding and executing the attack,” Anton Tsvetkov, a Russian security official and the director of the organization Officers of Russia told the Russian media.
