Afweyne ("Loud Mouth") at Brussels airport upon arrival in Belgium; he and a high-ranking official in the Somali government, which is accused of protecting him, have both been detained. Security has been heightened since the extradition of convicted terrorist Nizar Trabelsi to the US to face terror charges.
