An investigation into allegations of abuse by female teachers at an Antwerp primary school has reportedly found that the claims were baseless and part of a hate campaign led by a former member of the banned Islamist group Sharia4Belgium. The mayor of Antwerp said last month that 22 Islamists from Antwerp with ties to Sharia4Belgium had gone to Syria for jihad. Abdel Rahman Ayachi, the son of Belgian extremist cleric Sheikh Bassam Ayachi, was killed last month in Syria while leading a group of 500 to 600 rebels.
