Belgium faces a 'persistent terror threat' and a 'wave of jihadism' because prisoners are being radicalised in jails, the country's spy agency has warned. The State Security Service said Belgium faces a 'considerable problem' of extremism in jails and that convicted terrorists continue to re-offend. Belgium's domestic intelligence agency warned today that the country faces a persistent terror threat, in part because of the radicalisation of prisoners. According to the report, Belgium now has 'a never before seen population of detainees jailed for terrorism' that poses a greater than ever threat of 'contagion'. 'Taking into account the persistent recidivist tendency among former terrorism detainees, never mind radicalised common criminals, Belgium will continue to face a latent terror threat for some time to come,' it said.
