Special Belgian police units are searching for a heavily armed soldier who disappeared after reportedly making violent threats. The suspect has been named as Jurgen Conings, a military shooting instructor who took weapons from a barracks.  He is said to have made threats in the past against virologist Marc Van Ranst, who led Belgium’s public health response to coronavirus. Mr Van Ranst and his family have been taken to a safe place. Police appealed to the public not to approach the suspect but to get in touch if he was spotted.  They searched a forest near Dilsen-Stokkem in the Limburg province of northern Belgium, after a car said to belong to the soldier was spotted containing heavy weapons. Police are said to have found four rocket-launchers but the suspect is still thought to have several other firearms with him as well as a bulletproof vest.(BBC)…[+]
