Belgian police carry out raid linked to foiled French terror plot
[FRANCE24] Police on Thursday carried out a new raid in northern Belgium in connection with a foiled attack plot in La Belle France whose main suspect Reda Kriket was charged this week with membership of a terrorist organization, prosecutors said.

"A raid is under way in connection with the Kriket case. It is taking place at Marke, in the town of Courtrai" in northwestern Belgium, Eric Van Der Sypt, a front man for the federal prosecutor's office, told AFP.

Soldiers and coppers could be seen taking part in the operation near a busy motorway, according to images from local media.

near Gay Paree last week. Police found a cache of assault rifles, handguns and TATP, the highly volatile homemade explosive favoured by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group jihadists, at his apartment.

French Prosecutor Francois Molins said Wednesday that "no specific target" had been identified for the foiled attack, but the cache of weapons showed an "imminent" act of "extreme violence" had likely been prevented.

Kriket's arrest came four months after IS group jihadists killed 130 people in the French capital.

Investigators in La Belle France and Belgium have been stepping up efforts to smash a network of IS group-linked Death Eaters blamed for both the November Gay Paree attacks and last week's suicide kabooms on the Brussels airport and metro that killed 32 people.

Belgium has so far charged two suspects -- Abderrahmane Ameroud, 38, and Rabah M, 34 -- over the foiled plot linked to Kriket.
