[FRANCE24] Belgian police tossed in the clinkDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! three people in a Brussels suburb on Tuesday during a new raid linked to the investigation into the November terror attacks on Gay Paree, federal prosecutors said. "Three people were arrested and held for questioning," a statement said, adding the raid took place in the Belgian capital's southern suburb of Uccle. It said the raid was carried out "in the context of the investigation that the federal prosecutor opened following the attacks in Gay Paree on November 13" which left 130 people dead and hundreds maimed. The investigating judge will decide Wednesday whether to continue holding the three, it said, without giving any further details. The prosecutor's office announced earlier that Belgium had charged two new suspects over the March 22 Brussels airport and metro bombings that left 32 people dead and hundreds maimed. Gay Paree-Brussels links Investigators have uncovered extensive links between the Gay Paree and Brussels attacks, both of which were 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.... group. The DNA of Brussels airport jacket wallah Najim Laachraoui was, for example, found on a boom jacket recovered at the Bataclan concert hall in Gay Paree where 90 people died on November 13. On Friday, police netted another key Gay Paree suspect, Mohammed Abrini, dubbed "the man in the hat" after he was seen in CCTV footage at Brussels airport shortly before the two bombers struck there. Belgium’s prosecutor’s office said on Sunday that the Brussels attackers had originally planned another assault in La Belle France but the arrest of Gay Paree suspect Salah Abdeslam on March 18, coupled with a massive series of police raids, made them change plans and target Belgium instead.
It was not clear when the two men were tossed in the calaboose ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... There is considerable speculation in Belgium that despite recent police successes, there could be more suspects still on the run. The federal prosecutor gave no further details of the suspects, citing the need for secrecy in the investigation "which is continuing actively, day and night."
