A daring army reminiscent of The Italian Job,The Great Diamond robbery was enacted at the Brussels Airport .. It seems to have taken 12 Minutes!This is not the first occasion that a major shipment of diamonds has been stolen at Brussels Airport. In 2005 robbers got away with a large shipment of diamonds held by the couriers FedEx in the Brucargo freight section of the airport. In 2001 cash and securities were stolen from a Brink's Ziegler money transport. Eighteen months earlier diamonds were stolen from a Lufthansa aircraft at Zaventem. In 1995 securities were stolen from a Swissair aircraft that was ready for take-off, while in 1982 a security guard, Francis Zwarts, was attacked by gangsters wearing state police uniforms. The robbers got away with gold and jewelry. Francis Zwarts's body was never found."
