“I am Abdeslam Jilani, I took revenge on the Muslims. I have already killed three Swedes. You live by religion and die by religion. I am ready to meet God happy and at peace.” This is the statement published in a video posted on social media by the man who killed at least two people wearing the Swedish national team’s shirt in the center of Brussels with Kalashnikov shots. The author of the video speaks in Arabic with a Tunisian accent and claims to belong to the “Islamic State”. The video has not been verified, but the clothing worn appears to be the same as that of the person filmed in the shooting.
In the video released online, the gunman claims to belong to the Islamic State and boasts of having killed non-believers. In his very violent speech, in Arabic, the terrorist says that he shot two people to “avenge Muslims and that we live and die for our religion”. The man opened fire shouting “Allahu akbar”, God is great, and shot in all directions as he got off the scooter with a Kalashnikov-type weapon. He was wearing a fluorescent orange vest. The two victims are of Swedish nationality and were wearing a Swedish shirt, as the Belgium-Sweden match will take place tonight. The suspect fled on a scooter. This morning, according to the Belgian SDPA, Slayem Slouma (his name in the video) wrote a message about the Muslim child stabbed in Chicago on Sunday, explaining that if he were Christian, “we would have called it terrorism and not a brutal crime”.
The suspect is on the run and in the video he announced that he was heading to the King Baudouin stadium, where the football match between Belgium and Sweden was taking place, Belgian media reported. The race was suspended.
This is the Islamic terrorist who just killed at least three people in #Brussels.
