German Chancellor Angela Merkel Took Selfie With Brussels Terrorist

A photo showing Angela Merkel taking a selfie with Brussels bomber Najim Laachraoui has gone viral.  The photo appears to show the German Chancellor with the Paris Bomb-Maker and Brussels attacker – who posed as a refugee at the time of the photograph. The resemblance to the bomber is striking. He was filmed by surveillance cameras at Brussels Airport “Zaventem” shortly before the terrorist attack on Tuesday. 24-year-old Najim Laachraoui was the bomber pictured on the left of a surveillance camera image captured before the twin blasts rocked the departures area on Tuesday. He was pushing a luggage trolley that contained a bomb hidden in a suitcase. Laachraoui is suspected of being the bomb-maker who supplied devices for the Paris attacks on Nov 13. The prosecutor has confirmed that Laachraoui’s DNA was found on a suicide belt at the Bataclan music venue that was targeted by ISIS along with an explosive device at the Stade du France.
