How is it that Abdesalem Lassoued, the terrorist who shot dead two Swedish supporters last Monday, was able to obtain illicit weapons so easily? “We know that in Brussels, partly because of drug-related crime, we have a very flourishing arms market where it is becoming increasingly easy to obtain war firearms.“, said Nils Duquet, director of the Flemish Institute for Peace, in the magazine It’s not every day Sunday.
He adds that arms trafficking would not be our government’s priority: “In Europe, the fight once morest arms trafficking is a priority, but Belgium is known as a trafficking hub… It’s a bit incomprehensible“.
Can you really find a weapon in twenty minutes, as some people claim? “Non“, he replied, “This is not the case for weapons of war, but for pistols, if you have some knowledge, it is increasingly easier“. Surprising and not very reassuring, therefore.
