I just don't want to jump to any conclusion as I've never heard of this site nor these people before, for all I know they could be known for doing stunts or something.

Though if this really happened as they say, it reflects very badly on Belgium as well.

If you don't want to jump to conclusions, why then didn't you research a bit before posting?
Because search engines suck, it's hard to find reliable information on relatively niche foreign news sources and I'm lazy.
Not lazy enough to keep quiet rather than spreading FUD.

Not so sure. If the security at the event said "these people are active threats to security", then its the police's job to remove the threat and then investigate.

However it should now be on those lying about it that made the accusation to prevent their evidence, and if that's not good enough then to revoke their diplomatic credentials.

If the event was a private function as it appeared to be, then removing them is fine, but from the report it sounds like more accusations were made then "these people are no longer allowed at our event", and like the boy who cried wolf, that's where the problem needs to be sorted.
