In Bureau Brabant on Monday evening you can see how the man arrives from Veemarktstraat. He walks via the Heuvelring to the Pieter Vreedeplein. He places the explosive in the corner of the building, there is a long wire on it that he rolls out to a distance. And then suddenly there is an explosion. The perpetrator then runs down the street.
Miraculously, no one was injured in the explosion. But a few minutes before the explosion, three men walked by. The police are looking for these people, they want to know whether they saw anything there that could be important for the investigation.
