Brussels Attackers Planned to Strike France Again, Belgian Authorities Say
(ABC News) Louise Dewast and David Caplan - The terror group that unleashed deadly attacks on the Brussels airport and subway on March 22 had planned to launch a second attack on France, but instead turned their attention to Brussels, Belgium's Federal Prosecution Office said Sunday. "The terrorist group initially had the intention to strike in France again. Eventually, surprised by the speed of the progress in the ongoing investigation, they urgently took the decision to strike in Brussels." The announcement follows the arrest Friday in Belgium of Mohamed Abrini, who was caught on video alongside the other bombers in the Brussels airport bombing.
