In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, investigators will comb through the evidence seeking details on how these attacks were executed. As they do, there are several questions that must be answered, including the following:
-
How did the bombers know that the airport K-9 units were not patrolling the curbside area where they arrived?
-
How did the bombers know that airport police did not have explosives detectors/sniffers inside the terminal building?
-
How did the bombers know that there were no random bag searches inside or outside of the terminal building?
-
How did the bombers know what day and what time to attack for maximum casualties?
-
How did the bombers kill and injure so many Americans during that specific day and time?
-
How did the bombers know that the rail system and subway station would not be closed as a reaction to the attacks at the airport?
-
How did the bombers know that the subway stations and rail cars did not have explosives detectors/sniffers?
-
How did the bombers know that there were no random bag searches inside or outside of the subway stations or rail cars?
-
How did the bombers know that there were security or law enforcement mobile patrols in subway station or rail cars?
The perpetrators of the attacks weren’t just lucky with all of these details… They very likely conducted comprehensive pre-attack operations and surveillance and meticulously planned their attacks.
Additional questions worth considering:
-
In the months prior to the attacks, were the surveillance team members observed and/or reported during their “casing” missions of the airport, subway stations, or rail cars?
-
If surveillance was reported, were the reports (“dots”) connected between the airport and the rail system?
