A week right after the tragic terrorist attack in France, Belgium reported an attack targeted on them. Apparently, the police decided to round up people in a series of raids, depending on who they think would be a terrorist, intent on launching terror operations in Belgium.
"During the investigation we found that this group was about to commit terrorist attacks in Belgium," Van der Sypt had said.
And sure enough the suspects opened fire with automatic weapons at Magistrate, one of the places the raid was being held.
Luckily, no civilians or policemen were hurt. However, two of the suspects died and one was injured before being arrested by the police.
My only question I have is how did they pick out the suspects? Did they judge solely on the race? Or did they actually do a backgound check?
I thought this article related to what we discussed in class, racial profiling. Did these policemen use racial profiling? There wasn't a photo of the suspect in the article nor a name so that remains unknown. However, I am still very curious in how they picked these people out among the whole country. Since this is fresh news, there will be updates so hopefully I will get my questions answered.
