Belgium: The very international career of alleged terrorist Benladghem

Hakim Benladghem was shot by Belgian special forces on the Lille-Brussels motorway on March 26 2013. Under Belgian and French surveillance since 2008, police report that he was planning to commit a series of attacks, notably in Brussels.

The 39-year-old Franco-Algerian had trained as a "para-commando" with the French Foreign Legion. He moved to Belgium in 2008, which was also the year in which he became an extremist. He had notably made several attempts to enter Israel with a view to fighting in Gaza.

A large stock of weapons was found at his home, which would appear to confirm French suspicions that Benladghem belonged to a criminal group with terrorist links. However, proof of his affiliation to a particular organisation has yet to be found.

What the Belgian Police found:

That`s quite an arsenal. Good job by the Belgian authorities.

Quite an arsenal and as he was an ex legionnaire he knew what he was doing.

It wasn't just any tom dick or harry that was given an AK by a terrorist group.
If this guy had managed to go undetected by French and Belgian intel he would have succeeded in killing many many people.
