Brussels Attack Arrests

A Paris judge has charged two men suspected of links with the Islamist gunman who killed two Swedish football fans in Brussels this month, French anti-terror prosecutors told AFP on Tuesday

Belgian police on Tuesday arrested a suspected gunman who shot dead two Swedish football fans in what authorities said was a "terrorist attack".

The knifeman who fatally stabbed a Brussels police officer before being shot and arrested was already on a watch list maintained by Belgium's terrorism monitoring agency, federal prosecutors said Friday.

The prime surviving suspect in the 2015 ISIS attacks on Paris said he would answer no questions as his trial in Belgium over a shooting that preceded his arrest got under way in Brussels on Monday.

Two suspected terrorists arrested in Spain have admitted being in Brussels airport at the time of the deadly March 2016 attack but deny involvement, a court spokesman said Thursday.

Belgium arrested two people and charged them with "participating in activities of a terrorist group", federal prosecutors said on Saturday, part of wide-ranging investigations following the deadly attacks in Paris and Brussels that have been claimed by ISIS.

A man with psychiatric problems who was carrying a fake suicide belt full of salt and biscuits was arrested today after he triggered a major anti-terror operation at a Brussels shopping mall, prosecutors said.

Belgian police investigating the Brussels airport and metro attacks have arrested a man in connection with "terrorist murders", the federal prosecutor said on Friday.

Belgian police arrested three people in a Brussels suburb today during a new raid linked to the investigation into the November Paris attacks, federal prosecutors said.

Belgium has charged two new suspects with terrorist offences in connection with last month's deadly Brussels airport and metro attacks, the federal prosecutor's office said today.

The planners behind the March 22 bombings in Brussels which killed 32 people had initially planned to attack Paris but struck closer to home as investigators made arrests among key suspects, Belgian prosecutors said.

He was the mystery fugitive hunted by police over the Paris attacks, but even after his arrest in Brussels, the exact role of Mohamed Abrini in the November carnage remains unclear.

A sixth person was arrested over the Brussels airport and metro bombings, in raids which netted Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini, Belgian prosecutors said today.

The arrest of Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini in raids linked to the deadly Brussels airport and metro bombings highlighted Saturday the links between the Islamic State jihadists behind Belgium and France's worst terror outrages.

Mohamed Abrini, wanted for November's ISIS attacks in Paris, was among five people arrested in Brussels on Friday, Belgian prosecutors said, adding that he was also involved tied to last month's Brussels bombings.
