Turkish authorities previously arrested one of the perpetrators of the Brussels suicide bombing only three days after his arrival in Turkey via Antalya airport, Daily Sabah has learned.
Ibrahim El Bakraoui (29), one of the two brothers identified by Belgium for being responsible for the attacks that killed at least 31 people in Brussels on Tuesday, entered Turkey on June 11, 2015, and was detained by Turkish authorities on June 14. He subsequently got deported on July 14, 2015, a senior security source said.
Turkish authorities detained El Bakraoui for using a similar route that is used by foreign militants attempting to join Daesh and being in contact with suspected terrorists, sources said.
Turkish police apprehended El Bakraoui during a routine police check to catch possible terror suspects in Turkey's Gaziantep province and deported him from Istanbul Atatürk Airport. The Turkish official said, "We notified Belgium's and the Netherlands's authorities about his travel route and put an exclusion order on him."
British news wire Reuters reported that in previous cases, officials have said that they cannot jail people deported from Turkey without evidence of crime, such as proof showing suspects fought in Syria. Brahim Abdeslam, one of the suicide bombers in Paris in November, was also sent back to Belgium from Turkey early last year.
President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan on Wednesday revealed for the first time that Turkey had previously deported one of the Brussels terror attackers and had notified Belgian authorities.
''Belgian embassy was notified on July 14, 2015 about the deportation of the attacker, who was later released in Belgium'' ErdoÄŸan said and added that Belgium could not find terror links with the suspect, despite Turkey's warnings.
ErdoÄŸan continued by saying that the Netherlands was also involved in the matter as the suspect was deported to the Netherlands at his own request and the Dutch authorities were also informed about the incident.

And from Wiki linked page about Gladio in Brussels and a right-wing connected group called Blood, Soil, Honour & Loyalty (lovely fascist name, eh), we have this little nugget (note the Islamist false flag plan):

Bloed, Bodem, Eer en Trouw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Bloed, Bodem, Eer en Trouw (BBET; "Blood, Soil, Honour and Loyalty") is a Flemish neo-Nazi group, created in 2004 from a splinter of the Flemish branch of the international Nazi skinhead organization Blood & Honour.

History[edit]

The group rose to public prominence in September 2006, after 17 members, including 11 soldiers, were arrested under the December 2003 anti-terrorist laws and laws against racism, anti-semitism and negationism. According to Justice Minister Laurette Onkelinx and Interior Minister Patrick Dewael, the suspects were preparing terrorist attacks in order to "destabilize" Belgium.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP]
150 police agents searched five military barracks in Leopoldsburg and Peer, in the Limburg province near the Dutch border, in the Brussels Royal Military School and in Zedelgem. Police also searched 18 private residences in Flanders. They found military weapons, ammunition, explosives, and a homemade bomb large enough to "blow up a car". Led by Thomas Boutens, the group trained itself on military grounds. It also trained in interrogation and counter-interrogation techniques, as well as in becoming clandestine.[SUP][3][/SUP]
The group was engaged in arms dealing, and one of the suspects worked in the Kleine Brogel military base where United States nuclear weapons are stocked. Thomas Boutens was developing international links, in particular with the Dutch far right movement National Alliance (NA).[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] Several NA members, including party secretary Virginia Kapić, attended a BBET training camp.[SUP][11][/SUP] This led to her position in the party becoming untenable and she soon resigned from her post.
Flemish TV channel VTM claimed (citing justice sources) that the group was preparing to assassinate Filip Dewinter, an important figure of the far right Vlaams Belang party, in a false flag attack that would have been blamed on the Islamist movement. Taking advantage of the ensuing confusion, the group would then murder Dyab Abou Jahjah, leader of the Arab European League. Belgian justice authories denied these claims.[SUP][12][/SUP]
The Belgian press recalled the "bloody eighties," during which the Brabant massacres were carried out (28 deaths), and the Marxist organization Communist Combatant Cells carried out terrorist attacks (2 deaths).[SUP][13][/SUP] Far right groups such as Westland New Post were suspected of being responsible for the Brabant massacres, although the parliamentary commission could not find any definitive proof. Journalist Manuel Abramowicz, a specialist of the far-right and founder of the progressive ResistanceS website and network, was quoted in Le Soir saying that radical right-wing ultras have always had an aim to "infiltrate the state mechanisms" including the army in the 1970s and the 1980s, through Westland New Post and the Front de la Jeunesse.[SUP][14][/SUP]

And finally, I note that of all the nations that were running Gladio operations during the cold war, only Turkey's was run independently of NATO - due I suspect to it's long history of false flag activity.
