Suspect: Hakim Benladghem was shot dead in his car on a Belgium motorway A search of his home in Anderlecht revealed the hoard of guns and other military-equipment, which French and Belgium intelligence believe he was planning to use for a series of terror strikes across Europe. One of his key objectives, it is believed was to kill 'un cagoulé', French for 'a hood', which is a term used to describe a member of the special police forces. Among the items were an MP5 submachine gun, used by special forces soldiers around the world, an M-16 type automatic rifle and a Kalashnikov AK47 with folding stock and a pump action shotgun. Alongside hundreds of rounds of ammunition Benladghem had kept a flak jacket with dozens of spare magazines, a helmet with attached night-vision goggles. There were also vicious barbed staples for use in a range of anti personnel devices as well as food rations and medical equipment. Police had feared the apartment had been booby trapped.
