I'm not really familiar with the Belgian asylum process, but that doesn't really seem like a really good strategy to get an asylum request approved.

Because Belgium is doing such a good job at dealing with people that have their asylum requests rejected, and not leaving them stranded in Belgium without any legal source of income and lots of free time to hang around extremists. /s

And the guy is now an international hot potato. Where is Belgium going to deport him to? Palestine is a war zone without active airports and Israel is probably not lining up to deal with one more terrorist.

That's a strange way of saying suicide bomber.

Could be as a bombing victim as well...
