Swedish national Osama Krayem, linked to the deadly attacks in Paris on November 13 and in Brussels on March 22, is now suspected of having plotted to attack also the Schiphol airport in the Netherlands.
Twenty-four-year-old Krayem, from Malmö, in southern Sweden, was charged in Brussels earlier this year over his links to the terror cell that carried out the attacks in the French and Belgian capitals in 2015 and 2016 and in which 162 people were killed. On Thursday, a Belgian court ruled to extend Krayem’s detention by another two months.
According to an anonymous judicial source cited by Swedish daily Sydsvenskan, the extended detention comes on the back of new findings suggesting the Swede, along with an accomplice, planned to attack the international Schiphol airport in the Netherlands
The paper says French police now suspect the terror cell was planning to also attack the Paris metro and the Schiphol airport, but that something went wrong.
One of the main police theories is that the manhunt and subsequent capture of Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the terrorist teams who carried out the massacres in Paris, unleashed a wave of panic among fellow accomplices in Brussels, prompting them to put a halt to their imminent plans.
Krayem is believed to have left Sweden in 2014 and made his way to Syria where he joined Isis. Facebook posts from that time show him posting pictures of himself posing with Kalashnikovs, and with the black Isis flag in the background. He also posted videos of the group killing people.

"Swedish national Osama Krayem". Translation: "Swedish-passport-holding Muslim, Osama Krayem".
"…the Swede ..planned to attack the international Schiphol airport…". Translation – "… the Sweden-resident Muslim planned to attack…".
His Swedish citizenship should have been annulled already, and he should have been declared "Exiled and Outlaw".
