EU leaders will meet in Brussels today for an emergency meeting in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Brussels that left 31 dead and hundreds injured. Issues of security and the EU anti-terrorism laws are expected to be at the top of the agenda.
Belgium authorities have come under fire due to the perceived inability that terrorist cells have been operating within the country with relative impunity.
It recently emerged that the terrorist atrocity committed in Paris last November was largely planned from Belgium. It also emerged that Belgium is Europe’s top exporter of extremist fighters to Syria per capita.
A seven-man team took part in the planning and execution of the Brussels attacks.
