The Islamic State has posted a chilling video online purporting they will carry out more attacks on Belgium.
Islamic militants threaten Belgium with more attacks
In the video, a man speaks in Dutch threatening to carry out more attacks in Belgium for fighting its militants.
“You have learned nothing from the lessons of Paris because you are fighting Islam and Muslims. The Brussels attacks are the harvest of what you sow with your own hands.”
The man identified as Hicham Chaib has been under the radar of Belgian authorities since last year for being a member of a radical Salafist organisation, the Sharia4Belgium group.
The organisation labelled as “a terrorist group” saw members imprisoned including the leader Fouad Belkacem to 12 years in prison.
It is alleged that Chaid took on a leading role in the organisation.
The video was posted barely a week after at least 31 people were killed in coordinate suicide bombing attacks in Brussels at the country’s main airport and a metro station.
