Belgium Arrests Three in Liège Synagogue Bombing Tied to Iran's IRGC
Belgian federal police announced on Sunday that three suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the March 9 explosion outside the Synagogue de Liège, with one arraigned and two awaiting arraignment. Authorities also arrested four other individuals who were subsequently released. The suspects allegedly acted for payment on behalf of unnamed handlers tied to Mohammad al-Saadi, an Iran-born operative US prosecutors accuse of orchestrating at least 18 antisemitic attacks across Europe on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin called the original blast 'a despicable antisemitic act.' The Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, believed Iran-linked, has claimed responsibility for synagogue and Jewish-school attacks across Liège, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and London, underscoring Jerusalem's long-standing warning that Tehran's terror reach extends deep into Europe.
