Brussels Terror Attacks : Attack on humanity

Once again Europe suffered a major terrorist attack, this time it was in the heart of Europe that is in Brussels in Belgium. Terrorist linked with ISIS attacked the capital city of Belgium Brussels, they carried out bomb explosions and fired on the people at the airport and in metro train killing at least 35 people and wounding more than hundred. Now this is the wakeup call not only for Belgium but for the whole world to join hands together to fight common enemies of humanity.

With the deadliest and devastating attacks that has left many people in distress in recent times in Europe, many questions have arised or are being raised that is how did this happen, how was the terrorist plan carried out? Who supported them in this violent activity? What lessons we have learnt from these attacks? There are many questions which needs an answer. As the investigations would continue, we would be able to get more information and answers to some of these questions.

A counter terrorism efforts and advanced system of co-operation and co-ordination needs to be carried out amongst the nations which have been threatened or are directly or indirectly affected by it. One of the significant steps that Belgium government has to take is raise the level of security and safety in Belgium. It must be raised to a very far higher standard.

Belgium is the main center of activities of European Union but it is also becoming the hub of Islamic radicalism in Europe.

Belgium if compared with other European nations is one of the largest per capita providers of fighters to Syria. The terrorists that attacked Paris in November, most of amongst them were from Belgium. Major changes in security, policing and investigation practices needs to be carried out or needs to be implemented with very high standards. These changes should be done keeping in minds the rights of people and law.

People from all over the world have condemned the recent attacks on Brussels and have responded to this brutal act with harmony and unity in grief and resolve to carry on. The administration must do everything that they can do to arrest the perpetrators and to guard the people against such brutal acts in future. In this difficult time every country should support Belgium and that support should be strong and visible in nature.

The beckon of ISIS is rising international security crisis and crucial steps should be taken to stop this menace.
