In an interview with Belgian public broadcaster RTBF, their brother Mohammed urged Salah to give himself up to police.

“I deeply believe that my brothers weren’t radicalised. That is why we did not notice anything. I think my brothers were manipulated. We want Salah to surrender. First, he might bring us the answers we are waiting for. His own family, but also the victims’ families. And all the others who are watching us. We would rather see Salah in jail than in a cemetery”.
