Belgian MEP: It could have happened in any European capital
The attacks in Brussels have once again highlighted Belgium's problems in dealing with Islamist extremists.

Hilde Vautmans is a Belgian MEP and a member of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee. She rejects the idea that Belgium has a problem that is worse than anywhere else in Europe.
