According to Belgian newspaper “La Dernière Heure”, a list of possible Jewish personalities was found in the apartment of Islamist belgian-Moroccan Abdelkhader Belliraj during a search of his apartment, in conjunction with the arrest of some members of the Islamist Belgian movement.

This alleged “hit list” included other Jewish figures such as Josy Eisenberg, producer of a TV program called  “A Bible ouverte”, (an open bible) on Channel France ;  Simone Süsskind, an important figure of the Belgian Jewish community, and  jurist Markus Pardes. Two additional names which were scribbled on the list were that of a journalist, Edmond Blattchen, host of a program called  “Noms de dieux” (names of Gods) and of a Belgian writer living in Paris, Jean-Claude Bologne.

 The list has been confirmed by the Belgian District Attorney’s Office. No further details have been given.

The suspect has been in Morocco since February 2008 after his arrest. He was due to undergo a trial on January 9th on charges of having assassinated or having ordered the assassination of six people in Belgium during the 80’s and on arms trafficking charges.

With this new development, one of his lawyers, Vincent Lurquin, has not received authorization to contact his client in Morocco or have access to his dossier in that country. He is equally not privy to the defendant’s case files in Belgium, which has been pending for several months.

In Morocco, he was accused of having incited an operation to destabilize the current administration and of creating Islamist networks. He is known to have rubbed elbows with Al Qaeda and other radical groups. He has also served as an informer to Belgian Security Services.
