Terrorist hunter At the heart of the Special Units

An extraordinary look behind the scenes of the elite police team

Belgium Jan. 15, 2015. In Verviers, members of the Special Units raid a row house where three IS terrorists are brooding over an attack. The firefight comes a week after the deadly attack on the editor of Charlie Hebdo and marks the beginning of a terror wave in Belgium and France.

On the front lines is Chief Inspector Lionel D. of the Special Intervention Squadron (SIE). For the first time, a member of the elite federal police team testifies about his life and work. The leaden training, the stakes of life and death, the daily battle against gangsters and thugs. How his family keeps him afloat and he becomes a father again during the grueling war on terror. And how the hunt for Abdeslam changed him and his colleagues forever.

‘In Verviers, a war against a new enemy began. Who was not impressed by our flash grenades and machine guns.’
