BRUSSELS BOMBER PLANNED TO ATTACK FLIGHT TO TEL AVIV: One of the terrorists responsible for the Brussels airport bombing said during questioning that one of the goals of the attack was to hit checkout counters of flights headed to Israel, French news agencies reported on 14 April 2016. Terrorist Mohamed Abrini, who was apprehended days ago after he was first seen on surveillance footage of the attack wearing a hood, told authorities that Ibrahim el-Bakraoui chose the targets of the airport attack which included a flight to Tel Aviv. Ibrahim and his brother, Khalid El Bakraoui, are believed to have carried out two suicide bombings during the attacks. It seems Abrini apparently had a change of heart and fled after the two explosions in the airport. According to the report, Abrini went into hiding after seeing an arrest warrant was issued against him. French networks reported that he changed his hideout location several times, wearing wigs to avoid being recognized in public. Prosecutors have already filed charges against four people believed to have been involved in the attacks last month. A total of 32 people were killed and 270 wounded. (INN)
