In addition to the firearm, the gunman also utilized a scooter-style vehicle and shouted the Islamic chant “Allahu akbar” in one of the videos. The suspect’s allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist organization was confirmed by a spokesman for Belgium’s federal prosecutor. While details surrounding the suspect’s death remain unclear, it is known that he was shot by police and later died in the hospital. A weapon was recovered at the scene of the shooting.

Swedish soccer fans, despite the horrifying attack, showed resilience and national pride. Confined inside the stadium, they chanted “Sweden” in support of the victims. The game between Belgium and Sweden was ultimately abandoned, with the Swedish players refusing to continue due to the tragic events. The Belgian players agreed to halt the match as well.
It is worth noting that Sweden has been a target of terrorist groups in the past. The country raised its terror alert level after a series of Quran-burnings by an Iraqi refugee residing in Sweden sparked threats from Islamic militant organizations.
While the investigation into the attack continues, it is clear that the impact of this act of terrorism will be felt for a long time. The Western Journal extends its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.
What are some measures that countries can take to increase security and prevent acts of terrorism at high-profile sporting events?
