From the moment the Paris attacks investigation began, it was clear that Belgium was central to the story and the Brussels area of Molenbeek its focal point.
Salah Abdeslam, 26, was stopped on the border as he fled France with two other men but not detained.
Now Belgian fighter Abdelhamid Abaaoud, based in Syria, is being described as the brains behind the attacks.
If the co-ordinated plot was hatched in Syria, then it was prepared in Belgium and at least some of the attackers emanated from there. Two cars used in the plot were hired in the Brussels area.
Salah Abdeslam and his brother Brahim, who blew himself up on Friday, were both from Brussels. Another suicide bomber, Frenchman Bilal Hadfi, had also been living in Belgium.
More Belgians have gone to fight for the militant Islamic State (IS) group than any other European country, per capita. And there have been several attacks in recent months involving a Belgian connection.

Maybe we could kill two birds with one stone by fencing off Belgium from the rest of Europe...
