Belgian police on Tuesday morning arrested 45-year-old Tunisian Lasuet Abdeslam, who allegedly killed two men wearing Sweden jerseys in Brussels on Monday night, October 16.
According to RTBF, the arrest took place near a searched house in the Saerbek neighborhood where Abdeslam allegedly lived.
According to the same source, the man was shot in the chest by the police and was sent by ambulance to the hospital.
But despite being rushed to the hospital, the 45-year-old died in intensive care.
The Minister of Justice of Belgium had earlier stated that in the area where the Islamic terrorist was located and neutralized, the weapon with which he had killed two people and wounded a third on Monday night in Brussels was also found.
Who was the 45-year-old terrorist?
Lasuet Abdeslam was living illegally in Belgium after applying for asylum in 2019, which was rejected, but since 2021 they have lost track of him. According to the prime minister of Belgium, the 45-year-old was known to the police for traffic and threats to public safety.
