The attack on two police officers in Brussels, killing one, wounding the other, reminds us of the risks our police forces face daily. We must remain vigilant to threats to our internal security. The European Parliament works so closely with the Belgian Police that it is difficult for this not to feel personal. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims.
