Could have turned out very nasty.
Seems the guy is from the same area of Belgium as before.

Belgium’s security services are frantically seeking to piece together the last moves of the man shot dead by a soldier after he tried to explode a suitcase bomb packed with nails in Brussels’ busy central station.

The federal prosecutor’s office said it was clear that the city had been lucky to avoid a large number of fatalities and injuries from the attempted attack, which appears to have been sophisticated and carefully planned.

Officials said the suspect, who came from the Molenbeek area of the Belgian capital, was carrying a suitcase containing nails and gas bottles when he targeted a group of about 10 passengers in the departure hall on Tuesday evening.

No need for them - we have ex-military who are female who could do the job.

Indeed but it has a certain justice to it. Did you watch that Stacey Dooley documentary?

BBC Three - Stacey on the Frontline: Girls, Guns and Isis

worth a watch horrifying & impressive at the same time.

Maybe we should expand our talent pool for armed police officers? I wouldn't mind these ladies coming here.

They need to ensure female officiers/soldiers shoot them then they will definitely not get that.

Took a while for him to die. They couldn't take him to hospital, because they had to disarm the bomb first. Oh dear, how sad. Never mind.

So it was a real one which didn't go off properly, not a fake. If he blew his own bollocks off, the gendarmes did him a favour.

Yes and was reported as such quite early on.

Aye, you miss out on the 72 raisins which is a real bummer.

But they had the good sense to shoot him anyway. Fake explosive belts seem to be all the rage for the cash-strapped jihadis these days.

It makes sure they get killed. Its not a good idea to be taken alive.

Nicolas Van Herrewegen, a railway sorting agent who was in the station as the incident unfolded, said: “I went down to the mezzanine level. Someone was shouting. Then he cried: ‘Allahu Akbar’ and he blew up a trolley.


“I was behind a wall when it exploded. I went down and alerted my colleagues to evacuate everyone. [The suspect] was still around but after that, we didn’t see him.

“It wasn’t exactly a big explosion but the impact was pretty big. People were running away.”

In the article, the bit it seems that most people don't look at:

Police say they are unable to confirm media reports that the suspect was wearing an explosive belt.

But they had the good sense to shoot him anyway. Fake explosive belts seem to be all the rage for the cash-strapped jihadis these days.

Merged.

Ta!

There's me thinking you mean this:

Davis get his ass kicked

Whereas you actually mean this:

Merged.
