CHIÈVRES, Belgium -- The U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Antiterrorism Office is asking you to assist our security professionals across the Benelux in extending your eyes and ears to report incidents which might precede terrorist attack preparation or in-the-act of target surveillance.
Anyone reading or watching the news has heard the stories of how worldwide intelligence leaders are concerned about the potential for an increase in terrorist activity here in Western Europe. Pay attention to events such as Easter celebrations, spring festivals, May Day and other events which traditionally can result in protests throughout Europe.
Be mindful especially of May 1, which is observed as Labor Day in Belgium and the Netherlands. Although not specifically directed at U.S. personnel, many large cities can and will have marches and demonstrations on or around Labor Day. If in the vicinity of one of these events, use common sense. Stay away from the area of the protest, research before you go, check the U.S. State Department website, EuroNews channel, local channels, and official news sources to educate yourself and your family.
Please report suspicious activity when you see it. Most importantly, don't hesitate! Report suspicious activity to the U.S. Military Police Desk at your location:
