A national manhunt was launched on Tuesday in Belgium and the country’s most famous coronavirus expert forced into hiding after a soldier went on the run reportedly armed with a machine gun and a missile launcher stolen from a barracks. 

Local media reported that the man, a corporal who served in Afghanistan and had access to weapons because he was a shooting instructor, had links to far-right organisations and was on a terror watch list. 

The 46-year-old suspect, named only as Jurgen C, had previously made threats against Marc van Ranst, one of Belgium’s most high-profile virologists, who became famous during the pandemic. 

Mr van Ranst, who received three months of police protection after the initial threats, was taken to a police safehouse after the soldier’s girlfriend raised the alarm on Tuesday. 

She had found two farewell letters from her partner, in which said he no longer wanted to live “in such a society ruled by politicians and virologists” and that he would “join the resistance”. 

DJ Reporting on this pandemic is not without risk. A Dutch pandemic denier claimed Van Ranst had only himself to blame...It is sad to see also "media" turning more and more against virologists etc. warning this pandemic is far from over. "Unwelcome news" bad for advertising in a "free press"...

A number of mosques in the province of Limburg have decided to remain closed today, as a precaution while the heavily armed military man Jürgen Conings remains at large.

Yesterday saw an unprecedented police and military presence in the area of the Hoge Kempen national park, where Conings is thought to be hiding out.

One was killed by police. Six others are arrested. The gang may come from Belgium or France...

DJ-Related to the Belgian military trying to kill a virologist-now missing in the Dutch/Belgian border area ?

After a month a body has been found.  It seems that the fugitive soldier shoot himself.
