Belgian police arrest three for plotting drone attack on prime minister
Belgian authorities say they have arrested three people in connection with a plot to attack Prime Minister Bart De Wever and other politicians using drone-mounted explosives. Federal prosecutor Ann Fransen announced the arrests on Thursday and said the group were under investigation for an "attempted terrorist murder and participation in the activities of a terrorist group", according to Belgian public broadcaster RTBF. "There are also indications that the suspects aimed to construct a drone to which a payload could be attached," she added. Fransen did not name their intended targets, but social media posts from senior figures in De Wever's government indicate that he was on the list. "The news of a planned attack targeting Prime Minister Bart De Wever is deeply shocking," wrote Deputy Prime Minister Maxime Prevot in a post on X. "I express my full support to the Prime Minister, his wife, and his family, as well as my gratitude to the security and justice services whose swift action prevented the worst."
World's first remote tattoo is commissioned in real-time using a 5G-powered robotic arm
The world's first remote tattoo was completed by a 5G-powered robotic arm fitted with a tiny needle. Tattoo artist Wes Thomas drew the design on a mannequin arm while a robot in another location copied his motions on Dutch actress Stijn Fransen's wrist. The final result is a'minimalist' design that honors Fransen's love out the outdoors that has been dubbed the'Impossible Tattoo.' The procedure was commissioned by T-Mobile to show off the speed and reliability of its high-speed network, which was filmed for a three-minute documentary. A Dutch tattoo artist performed the world's first remote tattoo, prodding a mannequin in one location while a 5G-powered robot arm inked a subject in another.
