Belgium Terror Attack Mirrors an All Too Familiar Pattern

05/31/2018

The latest terror attack in the European Union occurred Tuesday in Liege, Belgium, and appears to follow an all too familiar pattern. A petty criminal, radicalized in prison and released prematurely, carries out a deadly attack on law enforcement officers and civilians shouting "Allah Akbar" before he is brought down by a hail of bullets. Watching summer reruns on TV can be entertaining. Watching reoccurring patterns in Islamic terrorist attacks is not.
