Ahh.... But as your link suggests: Morocco actually hates ISIS... The article - and this attack - could easily indicate ISIS does not hate Morocco.

Belgium was attacked - but so was Brussels. Brussels is the HQ for the EU. Belgium does not own the image of the targets in the attack, it merely houses them. I am curious whether the attack is simply a direct target of Belgium, which I may add (through the testimony of natives, and those who lived there for a period of time) that Belgium is already a particularly divided country - or a strategic attack in connection with this recent ousting of Morocco from agricultural commerce with the EU.

What does ISIS have to gain by attacking Brussels in addition to promoting terror within the region?

No, my arguments and my links indicate that ISIS hates Moroccan Muslims, at least, more than they hate Europeans. Europeans are heathen. Moroccans are apostates.

What does ISIS have to gain in addition to promoting terror anywhere? Their goal is to draw The Far Enemy into a world-ending cataclysmic last battle in mesopotamia. Arcane disagreements over things like grain shipments are wholly out of their wheelhouse.
