AT least 50 Islamic State (ISIS) sympathisers work at Zaventem airport in Brussels, a scathing open letter by airport police blasting its poor security has claimed.

The employees at the airport in the Belgian capital, which was the target of a deadly attack claimed by ISIS last week, have been identified as supporters of the evil terror group.

Some of the terrorist sympathisers even have security passes which can get them into aircraft cockpits.

The shocking open letter, written by Zaventem airport police officers, comes just over a week after 32 people were killed in twin bombings at the airport and a metro station in the centre of Brussels.

Officers also claim certain people who are suspected of having fought in Syria came to the airport as “fake tourists” to test the airport’s security to plan the deadly attack which killed 14 people.

Airport police officers wrote: “Certain people suspected of having fought in Syria have come to the airport posing as ‘fake tourists’ . We have flagged up their presence but we don’t know if anything was done with this information.”

The letter added that it “was clear scouts had been sent to determine the level of security in order to plan the [Brussels] attacks.”

Officers said they were “surprised on numerous occasions” because the suspects were rarely those “with a long history of radical beliefs or extremism”.

In its most shocking revelation, the open letter said: “Even today, there are at least 50 ISIS sympathisers working in the airport. They have a security pass and can access airplane cockpits.

“In the past, certain people’s security passes have been confiscated but, obviously, not everyone’s.

“The suspects are mainly shop assistants, cleaners and baggage handlers.”

Vincent Gilles, president of the largest police union in Belgium, said in a television interview that “quite a few airport workers had praised the Paris attacks”.

Mr Gilles also spoke about systematic security flaws, bureaucratic incompetence and the employment of baggage handlers with criminal records.

Hans Bonte, the Mayor of the region Vilvoorde, where Zaventem airport is situated, also confirmed the problem, according to Flemish newspaper Het Belong Van Limburg.

Brussels airport police officers also expressed their concern about Zaventem’s security, accusing airport chiefs of “bad management”.

Officers said the all areas of the airport are “very accessible to anyone” and called for passengers to be searched before entering the building, as well as banning vehicles within a 100 metre radius.

The letter went on to call for airport workers being investigated by anti-terror services to be removed immediately and for a more thorough screening of staff.

Belgian security services have come under increasing scrutiny in the wake of the Brussels and Paris attacks.

Belgium, which is at the centre of the investigations into the Paris attacks, has been criticised for failing to tackle extremism in troubled areas such as the Brussels district of Molenbeek.

The small European country, home to just 11 million people, has also more jihadi fighters in Syria and Iraq per capita than another other European Union (EU) state.

Brussels airport remains closed and is not expected to start running flights until Saturday.

This is why some Belgian 'people' imported moo slums.

This is what some Belgian 'people' wanted to happen.






Now, exactly what kind of 'people' would actually do such things?


You know...

My sister is in last year of flying before retirement. She flys and commands for a large American Airlines passenger business.
She struggles daily with not profiling, but will and does make decisions that protect her and her passengers. She has been reprimanded once but based on info outside her knowledge she was not wrong and therefore did not suffer any job loss. My point is airport security is much better here in the US since 9/11 but public awareness is a huge part of it.
Fyi.....tho she loves flying, can't wait to retire and move away from such crap.

The Brussles airport is a microcosm of Belgium .
Belgium is a microcosm of the EU . I hope Europe wakes up and wakes up fast .

• this info has been known for more than a week
• to have sympathy for is not equal to being member of ; but still no good news
• the name of the news paper is "Het Belang"
• Vilvoorde is a city not a region and several stone throws away from the airport

On some roads I'd like to drive faster than the maxi speed. But I don't. So I've a heavy foot? Possibly, but I didn't use it.
Starting from the benign or from the malicious makes a diff. No?

That is a comlicated thought but has very concrete answers .
If we are talking about the same concept then it's all situational .

Benign being I like to speed but malicious if I continue to speed knowing I have cataracts and could kill somebody .

The line between benign and complicit is well defined for most who have integrity ( right and wrong )



My point was :::if I'm sympathetic to you I'm more apt to overlook or turn my head the other way when you are doing "wrong ", I'm able to do this because of my belief system allows it .

This still makes me complicit *******

Unfortunately ,people's definition of what's right and what's wrong vary .
