A gunman who shot dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels last Monday had escaped from prison in Tunisia. Belgian prosecutors say Abdesalem Lassoued had been sentenced to 26 years in prison in 2005, reportedly for crimes including attempted murder. He escaped in 2011, managed to board a small boat and arrived illegally on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Lassoued eventually moved to Belgium, where he applied for asylum. When rejected, he fell off the radar. The Tunisian authorities had asked Belgium to return Lassoued home in August 2022. Belgian officials received the extradition request, but failed to process it. "I sincerely want to apologise to the victims and their loved ones," Mr Van Quickenborne said during his resignation speech. "I am not looking for any excuses." He said he wanted to take "political responsibility for this unacceptable mistake". Brussels public prosecutor Tim De Wolf blamed understaffing in his office for the failure to act on the extradition request. He said the extradition file had been received in September last year and had probably been forgotten in a file cabinet. "None of the colleagues involved remember what became of this specific file a year ago. There is no trace of it being handled," he said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67195715
Had never heard of these Visegrad 24 chaps but will have to give them a follow. Anyway, Emperor Sunak has confirmed the hospital missile was fired from Gaza. Not sure why the UK is investigating this but still good to know.
Talking about Muslamic rapists raping 90 plus year old French women is racist folks. They probably deserved it for not covering themselves up .
