Belgium To Launch Air Strikes Against Islamic State In Syria
Belgium will extend its F-16 air strikes against Islamic State jihadists in Iraq into Syria, the government said Friday, as it grapples with the aftermath of deadly IS-claimed bomb attacks in Brussels in March.
"In accordance with UN Resolution 2249, the engagement will be limited to those areas of Syria under the control of IS and other terrorist groups," a spokesman for Prime Minister Charles Michel told AFP after a cabinet meeting.
"The objective will be to destroy these groups' refuges," the spokesman said, adding that the strikes would begin on July 1.
Belgium launched its first attacks against IS in Iraq in late 2014 as part of the US-led coalition, but decided against strikes in Syria amid public fears over getting dragged into a wider conflict.
However, the November 13 Paris attacks which left 130 people dead brought home the IS threat to the heart of Europe and changed sentiment sharply.
In early March, Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said the government was reconsidering its position, as it did not make sense to attack IS in Iraq but not in Syria.
Along with the Netherlands and Denmark, Britain has also changed tack and launched its first sorties against IS targets in Syria in December.
Michel's spokesman did not spell out the reason for the change in policy but it comes as Belgium is still reeling from the IS suicide bomber attacks at Brussels airport and on the metro on March 22 which killed 32 people.
The Paris and Brussels attacks have both been linked to the same jihadist cell with links to IS in Syria.

Belgian PM backs minister's comment that some Muslims cheered Brussels attacks
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-attacks-belgium-idUSKCN0XF0WY
“A significant part of the Muslim community danced following the attacks … That is the real problem,” Jambon told De Standaard.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel backed his outspoken interior minister over comments that a significant number of Muslims had cheered the Brussels bombings, and said supporters of terrorism were a cancer that needed removing.
Jan Jambon told Belgian daily De Standaard in a Saturday interview that a significant part of the Muslim community had danced with joy after the attacks that killed 32 people on March 22.
Jambon, part of the Flemish separatist N-VA party, faced criticism from fellow ministers and opposition, some demanding he back up his views with evidence, others that he apologise immediately.
Michel provided backing for his minister late on Sunday, saying the national security council had been told about expressions of support for the Brussels attackers. “I can confirm that there have been endorsements for the attacks,” Michel said in a statement, although this was only from a small minority.
“We must neither generalise nor gloss over this,” Michel said, adding that Jambon had not been generalising. Jambon said in the De Standaard interview that previous governments had disregarded warning signs for years and that current measures would not have immediate success.
“A significant part of the Muslim community danced following the attacks … That is the real problem,” Jambon told De Standaard. “Terrorists we can pick up, remove from society. But they are just a pimple. Underneath is a much more difficult cancer to treat. We can handle it. But not overnight,” he added.
Michel’s government has come under fire over its handling of the security before the bombings. Jambon and Justice Minister Koen Geens offered to step down in late March over lapses although Michel asked both to stay on.
The transport minister did resign last Friday, following accusations she lied about an EU report that criticised security at Brussels Airport.

Belgium - F-16A/B Block 15 Aircraft Mid Life Upgrade
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Belgium to upgrade its F-16A/B Block 15 Aircraft Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) aircraft and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $113 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on May 8, 2014.
The Government of Belgium has requested a possible sale to upgrade its F-16A/B Block 15 Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) aircraft with Operational Flight Program (OFP) tapes S1, M5 and M6. Upgrade includes: 69 LN-260 Embedded Global Positioning System-Inertial Navigation Systems (GPS-INS), 8 Remote Operated Video Enhanced Receivers IV (ROVER IV), 62 AN/APX-125 Transceivers (AN/APX-125 Air Identification Friend of Foe Radios), 32 KIV-78s, 1 Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS), 4 BRU-61/A Carriage Systems, and 43 AN/ARC-210(V) RT-1990(C) Ultra High Frequency/Very High Frequency (UHF/VHF) Receiver Transmitters. Also included are spare and repair parts, support equipment, repair and return services, software development/ integration, test and equipment, personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical data, U.S. Government and contractor technical services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated cost is $113 million.
The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally. The proposed sale of equipment and support for Belgium’s F-16s will support its self-defense needs and enhance the interoperability of these aircraft with those of the United States and other NATO nations.
