Belgium admits security failure but 'not a failed state'

Belgium’s Prime Minister Charles Michel has admitted security failures after recent deadly bombings but rejected the notion that his country is a failed state.
Michel said, "When there is an attack like that, of course that’s a failure and nobody can deny this." But "I cannot accept the idea that we’re a failed state," he said at a press conference in the capital Brussels.
"We're a small country at the heart of Europe... a hub from where one can easily organize attacks in other European countries," Michel said, calling for better cross-border intelligence cooperation.
Michel claimed Belgium had succeeded in preventing many attacks, adding in 2015 alone.
"Today we return to normal life in Brussels and Belgium," he said.
On March 22, three bombings happened in Brussels’ main airport and a metro station, killing 32 people and wounding over 300 others.
