Background[edit]

Further information: List of terrorist incidents in Belgium
Since the Paris attacks in 2015 and the 2016 Brussels bombings, soldiers have been on patrol in Brussels.[7] The New York Times reported that Brussels had been "on edge" as a result of previous terrorist attacks,[8] and Reuters reported that "1,200 soldiers patrol Belgium's main cities and the country is on its second highest threat level."[9]

Events[edit]

The attack took place on the Boulevard Émile Jacqmain, near Brussels central Grand Place.[5]
The assailant was Haashi Ayaanle, a 30-year-old male Somali immigrant born in 1987. Authorities say he was not known for terrorist activity. Ayaanle was shot and later died of his injuries in hospital.[1][10][11][12] He arrived in Belgium in 2004 and was granted Belgian citizenship in 2015.[13] Ayaanle lived in public housing in Bruges, where the mayor declared the suspect showed no prior signs of radicalization.[14][6]
A spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said that the assailant shouted "Allahu Akbar" twice as he rushed the soldiers, attacking them from behind.[15][5][16]
In addition to the large knife with which he attacked, the terrorist was carrying a replica of a gun and a copy of the Quran.[2][15]
The perpetrator had been in contact with the Somalian fundamentalist community.[17][18]

Assailant[edit]

The assailant, Haashi Ayaanle, worked for Victor Buyck Steel Construction in Eeklo as a welder from 2013 until April 2017. He was let go by the company after an incident in April 2017 when he attempted to attack fellow workers with a screwdriver. Although Ayaanle's fellow workers asserted that there had been no motive for the attack, Ayaanle told his attorney that they were peeking at him in his home and taking clandestine photos of him, causing the lawyer to request a mental status examination and resulting in Ayaanle being voluntarily hospitalized at St. Jan psychiatric hospital in Eeklo. He was discharged after three weeks, with advice to continue taking his prescribed medication. He found work again for a short time, before falling out of contact, even with his attorney.[19][20]

Aftermath[edit]

The Amaq News Agency, claimed that Islamic State was responsible for the attack.[21][2][15][5] According to the Amaq statement, "the perpetrator of the stabbing operation in Brussels is one of the soldiers of the Islamic State, and he carried out the operation in response to appeals to target countries of the [US-led] coalition".[5]
General Marc Thys, commander of Belgian land forces, said that "uniforms are a target" and that his forces will change tactics. They will now move around more often and change routes in order to minimise the time troops stand still and thus make them harder to target.[22][23] On 28 August, General Thys announced the military now expect to have to continue patrolling the streets until 2020.[24]

Reactions[edit]

The Belgian Secretary of Interior, Jan Jambon, said "It is the duty of the soldiers and the police to protect the citizens and the institutions, they have done that perfectly, at risk for their own body and members. My respect is enormous".[25]
