Title

[edit]

Wouldn't "2013 Belgian diamond heist" be a better title? Mjroots (talk) 21:41, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. Feel free to move. Remember (talk) 21:47, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Bobxii (talk) 13:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest "Brussels Airport diamond heist", similarly to Antwerp Diamond Heist. kashmiri 00:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

[edit]

Reaction "He also stated that it was "incredibly idiotic" of the Belgian Prime Minister, Caleb Miller, to let something like this happen. In response, Miller screamed "Vous taisez-vous!", which probably means something in French." Professionalism...? Also not cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Userbrendan (talkcontribs) 01:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was vandalism. The user has been blocked. Bobxii (talk) 13:40, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

[edit]

The Saudi Arabia category seems unfounded. Nothing in the article suggests it belongs there. Removing until someone can provide a reason for it's inclusion. LuthienKess (talk) 01:24, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Context of theft

[edit]

Why were the diamonds being transported in the first place? 138.16.21.199 (talk) 02:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to the New York Times source, "Diamonds bought in Antwerp for either cutting or sale abroad are usually taken to Brussels Airport, about 25 miles away," I haven't found anything else that explains the transport, though the tone of the articles suggests to me that it was a regular/scheduled transport.

Inside job

[edit]

"The heist has been described as a professional, inside job,[4]"

From the citation the only relevant quote reads; " “I am certain this was an inside job,” said Doron Levy, an expert in airport security at a French risk management company, Ofek. "

I would suggest changing the wording to reflect that at this time it is only speculation that this was an inside job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.232.190 (talk) 03:24, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nikunj

[edit]

The last paragraph states: "In addition, he stated that Nikunj was stupid.". Who or what is a Nikunj? That name is never mentioned in the article, neither in the linked source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.78.21 (talk) 15:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
