'I wouldn't hurt a fly' says 'Man in the Hat': Brussels Airport terror suspect tells court he is*

*full article title: "'I wouldn't hurt a fly' says 'Man in the Hat': Brussels Airport terror suspect tells court he is not radicalized as it's revealed his accomplice was found with documents about a Germany nuclear facility"

------------------------

The 'man in the hat' seen walking next to two suicide bombers in the Brussels Airport terror attacks has said he 'wouldn't hurt a fly', a court heard.

Mohamed Abrini was seen in CCTV footage wearing a white jacket moments before the two men he was with detonated bombs murdering 16 people at the terminal last month.

But despite becoming one of the most wanted men in Europe ahead of his arrest on Friday, the terror suspect has reportedly played down his role in the attacks and even claimed he had not been radicalised.

In written statements handed to a judge ahead of his court appearance today, he reportedly said 'I didn't want to do it - I would never hurt a fly'.

He told police that the plan was to explode three bombs - one in front of a check-in desk for a US airline, and the other two at the check-ins for an Israeli and a Russian company.

'But I never intended to explode my bomb. I waited until the other two bombs were detonated and then I slipped away.

'I threw away my jacket and hat and I bought a cap in a second-hand shop to hide my face.'

A Belgian judge is deciding whether to keep Abrini and a half-dozen other suspects in the Paris and Brussels attacks in preventive custody.

Swedish-born Osama Krayem, 23, who was involved in the bomb explosion which wrecked a tube train near the EU headquarters, has also claimed to be innocent under police interrogation.

I’m thinking a giant flyswatter would be fitting vengeance.

“People, on the other hand... “

My thoughts also. People who lie love to tell the exact truth and delight in the double meaning. Implication is: if I wouldn’t hurt a fly I wouldn’t hurt you. Actuality is: Flies are creatures of Allah. Whereas you are Allah’s enemy.

I wouldn’t hurt a fly, but I carried a bomb into the airport.

“But I never intended to explode my bomb. I waited until the other two bombs were detonated and then I slipped away”

Translation:

“I chickened out and didn’t want to die”

He walked into an airport with two bombers and tried to stop them, knowing what they would do.

He needs to be have his head on a pike after being drawn and quartered.

...

That’s because Muslims don’t have to be radicalized to be terrorists.

He conspired with them. He didn’t warn any one against them.
Guilty. Get a rope.

Taqiyya. Or maybe true; he would not hurt a fly, but he’ll kill an Infidel!

Man in the Hat...

I would not hurt a fly, it’s said;
I would not, could not, harm it’s head;
There’s just no how, there’s just no way;
People, though, are a-okay!

Correction: That’s because Muslims don’t have to tell the truth to the infidels.
