BRUSSELS MINISTER FEARS CHURCHES COULD BE TARGETED

Tue 22 Mar 2016

A church minister in Brussels has told Premier there is "an element of fear" in
holding prayer services following the bomb attacks there.

Revd Dr Andrew Gardener, from St Andrew's Church of Scotland in Brussels said he
was "not sure" about opening the church because of possible attacks.

"There's an element of fear [that] people who you wouldn't want to know that
you're gathering would turn up and target those of us who are gathered," he
said.

At least 23 are feared dead and many more were injured after terrorist bomb
attacks on the main airport and Metro system in Brussels.

The coordinated attacks came as the Belgian capital was on a high level of alert

week.

There were unconfirmed reports of shots being fired and shouting in Arabic at
the airport in what Belgian media said was a suicide attack.

Revd Dr Gardener added: "The airport is my second home sometimes.

"This is a place that many of the people in my congregation know very well, and
it will raise huge amounts of fear among the ex-pat community as a whole.

"Easter as you know is a prime point in celebration in the Christian calendar
