Manhunt in Belgium: Mohammed A., a Palestinian migrant who applied for asylum last month, is wanted after he said he intended to “die as a martyr by causing an explosion”

Police are searching for a man with Palestinian nationality. The 23-year-old Mohammed A. declared on Tuesday that he “wants to die as a martyr through an explosion”, according to several sources.

The man had applied for asylum in this country on September 26. He was supposed to report again the next day, but did not appear. On Tuesday, he reported to an official office and is said to have stated that he wanted to die as a martyr. The Palestinian had learned that his entire family had died in Gaza.

The asylum seeker was immediately put on the national wanted list. This means that all police units in the country are searching for the man. It is still unclear how serious the threat is.
