2023-10-23 12:46:00

According to an investigation carried out by the newspaper Le Parisien, four minors were planning to attack the Israeli embassy in Belgium, in Uccle. Three of them, including two of Chechen origin, were indicted in Paris, while the fourth, aged 16, is a Belgian from Brussels. They were arrested by Belgian and French police last June and August.

Their goal was to slaughter the police officers stationed in front of the embassy before “dropping a van packed with explosives once morest the site. Before executing the surviving civilians,” explains Le Parisien.

A visit to two of the college students confirmed their strong radicalization. They had researched Israeli embassies in France, Luxembourg and Belgium, as well as the making of explosives.

“Our goal is to terrorize the Jews,” they exchanged messages according to the French newspaper. “Blood must be shed as much as possible,” they also reportedly wrote, “our target is the Jews.”
