Attacker who killed Swedes in Brussels shot dead by police

The police in Brussels have killed the man who murdered two people from Sweden on Monday night.

Abdesalem Lassoued, who is 45 years old, was shot while he was in a café located in the Schaerbeek neighborhood.

On Monday, two people from Sweden died and another person got hurt in a shooting with a machine gun.

It happened on a street called Boulevard d’Ypres, which was 5 kilometers away from the stadium where Belgium was playing against Sweden to try and qualify for the Euro 2024 football tournament.

Brussels is currently at the highest level of terror alert.

The person who shot people is thought to be a man from Tunisia who was not allowed to stay in Belgium because his request for protection was denied.

He uploaded a video on the internet claiming that he murdered people for the sake of God, and the authorities think that he was motivated by the Islamic State Group.

Belgium’s Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden said to Flemish public broadcaster VRT that the weapon found on him was the same as the one used in Monday’s attack.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo called Monday’s shooting a very scary act of terrorism during a press conference.

The lawyer in charge of the case believes that the victims were targeted because they were from Sweden.

Mr De Croo said: “The people who do bad things are trying to make us scared, not trust each other, and separate us in our societies where we have freedom. ” Terrorism is the act of using violence and fear to intimidate and harm innocent people. Terrorists need to realize that they won’t ever achieve what they want.
