Brussels (The Brussels morning newspaper): The police are looking for any similarities between a recent blast that took place there and an earlier knife related assault, but want to do it secretly so that myths don’t spread.

Although the police are handling the case, they’re not telling the public a thing now.  By keeping shtum, they prevent untruths from spreading but also master the situation. Everything we arbitrarily did, they ceased by not talking about the case that way, police work without fear of flooding things. Given breathing space to lay hands on proof, ask witnesses or investigate leads means also that there is contact with the public or media but it doesn’t distract. Although people may be curious or speculate about what has happened, it serves the public and this police department very well for them to keep their mouths shut on cases like this.

Are recent violent incidents connected in the community?

On the same spot where the explosion happened Tuesday night, there was another violent incident late in July. A man was injured in this scene as he was attacked by someone with a knife. All this was a worry and injuries. At the same time fast police gathered response teams on site to handle the situation so it would bring things back under control. This attack is void in just the violence of the past, or those who sought to stoke more trouble or problems in the community. Moreover, Because both events were serious, investigators now have to look into whether the explosion may be linked to an earlier knife attack. And the authorities, too, think it could be connected with that earlier attack pero they’re not sure yet. They’re trying to find some who are assigned to do so by finding any links or reasons why violence keeps happening at that spot.

Now the police are looking carefully into both the knife attack and the explosion. They are checking evidence, watching videos from cameras and talking to people who saw what happened. They want to know if these events are part of a larger plan or if they are separate incidents. The outcome of this investigation will help them explain why violent incidents are occurring in this manner more importantly it will lead them to ways of making such things no longer happen there.
