Belgium: van in a pedestrian area, excluding terrorist trail

The terrorist trail is excluded for yesterday’s incident in the center of Brussels, with a van launched at full speed on the outdoor area of ​​a room in a pedestrian area of ​​the capital. The investment caused only six minor injuries. Yesterday afternoon after a manhunt, due to the attack alarm, the driver was stopped in Antwerp.
He had immediately fled aboard the white van of the accident, abandoning it not far away.
After a long interrogation, in the evening the Brussels prosecutor’s office completely ruled out the attack, according to the Belgian media. In the next few hours, the investigating judge should decide whether to accuse the man of attempted murder, as requested by the prosecutor. However, the reasons for the gesture remain unclear. In the morning, a newspaper hypothesized a fit of anger from the man, a 28-year-old courier, against the new city traffic plan, recently in force, but at the moment there are no confirmations.
