Walid Phares: ‘This Is a Strategic Strike ... Against the Western World’

‘I am putting it in a much in a much bigger dimension because that’s what the jihadists are trying to do, send the message’

PHARES: "I used that metro station as on a street adjacent to the parliament, its as busy as Fifth Avenue there in New York. So it's is extremely strategic and also it's a metro station that's used by workers, by staffers, by members of the European parliament of the commission, by NATO, so this is a very important location. Now, this coupled with the attack against the airport, this is a strategic strike not just against Brussels, but against, you know, the western world. You have two capitals. You have Washington and then you have Brussels. I'm putting it in a much bigger dimension because that's what the jihadists were trying to do -- send a message."
