| 2015-12-21 | |
| [AnNahar] Belgian police searched a home in the center of Brussels on Sunday and made one arrest in connection with a probe into last month's terror attacks in Gay Paree, federal prosecutors said. Belgian media reported that the detained suspect was not however runaway Salah Abdeslam, who is one of Europe's most desperados over his alleged involvement in the November 13 attacks that left 130 dead in the French capital. "A search is ongoing in Brussels, one person was taken in for questioning," federal prosecutor front man Eric Van Der Sypt told AFP, confirming a report by Belgium's RTBF broadcaster. Special forces from the federal police have been sent to the scene, he added, declining to give further details about the suspect. The search took place in a building on a street less than a kilometer (mile) away from Brussels' central Grand Place square, one of the city's most popular tourist sites. Belgian police are still actively looking for 26-year-old, Brussels-born Abdeslam, suspected of having played a key role in the Gay Paree attacks and understood to have returned to the Belgian capital the day after the bloodshed. A source close to the Belgian investigation told AFP earlier Sunday that Abdeslam made it past three police checks when friends drove him from Gay Paree to Brussels in the hours after the coordinated gun and suicide kabooms. Belgium has so far placed in durance vile Please don't kill me! eight people on suspicion of involvement in the terror assaults, which have been claimed by the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group.
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... the two brothers and a third person in a raid on a house near the main tourist district in central Brussels on Sunday, the federal prosecutors office said in a statement. No explosives or weapons were found. "A thorough analysis of phone records was the basis for this house search," the prosecutors' statement said, adding that the third person was a "friend of the two brothers." | |
