8/7/2005 9:38
Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt condemned on Thursday the London
blasts as cowardly attacks on defenseless civilians. Speaking in the Belgian
Parliament, the Liberal (VLD) leader said Thursday morning's attacks prove that
the war on terror must continue and be intensified. Offering his sympathies
to the victims and their families, Verhofstadt compared the attacks to those in
New York, Madrid and Istanbul. The prime minister was due to meet with the
Council for Security and Intelligence in the afternoon in response to the London
terrorist bombings. The Council for Security and Intelligence is a
supervisory authority determining Belgian intelligence policies.
