“It is mainly young people who produce and distribute propaganda materials themselves,” analyzes Francisca Bostyn. “We see them less at the execution stage, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they can be very dangerous. They glorify violence.”

Sometimes, some people still plan an attack. Last year, for example, a terrorist cell of Muslim extremists – which included three minors and an 18-year-old – was arrested while preparing an attack against the Botanique concert hall in Brussels.
