The Belgian newspaper De Morgen and the French television channel TF1 are alleging that NATO officers attended a gathering of the Templars order, together with far-right activists from France, Belgium, United Kingdom and the USA. The officers, who are stationed at the NATO Headquarters at Evere, near Brussels, are alleged to have attended the ceremony together with police officers and "high office holders". When asked about this in the Belgian Senate Minister of Defence Poncelet, stated that an enquiry had been launched into the allegations. He also claimed that "the intelligence services of the army keep me closely informed about the connections of certain officers with extremist groups". Parliamentary Report Belgian Senate, 6.6.96
