Belgium on alert and in search of an anti-vaccine “Rambo” which threatened the government and virologists and barricaded itself with weapons of war

Belgian police have been trying for four days to find a far-right soldier who has shown himself to be heavily armed and who has disappeared since Monday in Hoge Kempen National Park after threatening the government, the army itself and virologists country of violent acts. .

This Belgian rambo, by name Jürgen Conings, 46, was previously on the list of the Coordinating Body for Threat Analysis on Terrorism and Extremism Issues. This body determines the level of threat of a person to national security, the level of Conings is 4, the highest, while the level of general threat of Belgium remains at 2.

To find it, the country launched a real hunt worthy of an action film, in which military and police participate that so far they have not found Conings’ whereabouts despite having examined a 20 kilometer perimeter in the park.

The most they found is a tent they assume he used that is being examined for DNA and fingerprints.

“We had concrete indications that he was in the park“Eric Van Duyse, of the federal prosecutor’s office, told local media on Thursday.”Just because it hasn’t been found doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t or has been in the area. Now all the elements of the investigation are being analyzed and we are looking at the next steps. All roads are open, we are not excluding anything “, added.

According to the Belgian prosecution, the soldier is heavily armed, because He would have in his possession one or more rocket launchers, a machine gun, a pistol and is protected by a bulletproof vest.

They assume that all these weapons were removed from the barracks to which he belonged on the pretext that he was going to carry out a shooting exercise. According to the authorities, he would have withdrawn a large quantity of heavy weapons, but part of them, like Four anti-tank rocket launchers and ammunition were found in the car he arrived in the national park with and let out.

Conings’ threats against the country’s government, military and virologists with violent actions were recorded in three farewell letters left by the soldier. In one, he claimed he couldn’t take more than what politicians and medical authorities decided in his life.

In the note to the military, he wrote: “You trained me to be who I am, now I’m going to use that against you”.

The threats have had their effect. Marc Van Ranst, main adviser to the Belgian authorities to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, had to be transferred as a precaution with his family. The Minister of Defense, Ludivine Dedonder, has, for her part, benefited from additional protection.

The matter has become an international issue, as it is suspected that the fugitive may attempt to cross the border into the Netherlands, so that country’s authorities have deployed their special units at border posts on alert.

The same goes for German troops aware of the situation.
