About why they havent been able to even get a lead on where he is? >> theyre not addressing that element of the problem, but whats emerging is a number of complaints about the fragmentation, of how the belgian state organizes itself. constitutionally, a lot of its powers are devolved to a local level but that makes it the hardest task of all when you have a cross-border anti-terror search to organize. when you only have the police, rather than a national intelligence service, it makes it very di...
