Peace Love and murder, what a nice bunch of kids.

FOXNews.com - Belgian Forces Arrest 14 Extremists in Plot to Free Jailed Terror Suspect - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Belgian police Friday arrested 14 Muslim extremists suspected of planning to free an Al Qaeda sympathizer imprisoned for planning a terrorist attack on U.S. air base personnel, officials said.

Security was heightened at airports, subway stations and other public places across the capital, and the U.S. Embassy issued a warning to Americans that 'there is currently a heightened risk of terrorist attack in Brussels' although it had no indication of any American targets.

Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said the government had information suggesting 'preparation of an attack.'

'Other acts of violence are not to be excluded,' he said.

The prisoner, Nizar Trabelsi, a 37-year-old Tunisian who played soccer for several German teams, was sentenced to the maximum 10 years in prison four years ago. He had admitted planning to drive a car bomb into the canteen at Kleine Brogel, a Belgian air base where about 100 American military personnel are stationed."
