a man in connection with "terrorist murders," the federal prosecutor said on Friday.

The 31-year-old man, identified only as Ali E.H.A., was detained on Thursday during a house search in the Schaerbeek area of the capital, the prosecutor's office said.

Several people have previously been charged over the March 22 suicide kabooms at Zaventem airport and Maalbeek metro station which killed 32 people.

"In connection with the federal investigation after the terrorist attacks in Zaventem and Brussels, a house search was conducted," the statement said.

"The Belgian national Ali E.H.A., born on 23rd September 1984, was arrested and later put in detention by the Investigating Judge for participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempted terrorist murders, as a perpetrator, co-perpetrator or accomplice."

It added: "Currently, no further information will be given in the interest of the investigation."

The announcement comes a day after a Belgian court approved the extradition to La Belle France of Mohammed Abrini, a key suspect in both the Brussels attacks and the November Gay Paree attacks in which 130 people were killed.

He will not be handed over to French authorities for some time as he is still being investigated over the Belgium attacks.

Abrini has confessed to being the "man in the hat" caught on video with the two airport bombers and who was allegedly preparing to detonate a third bomb before fleeing the scene.

Another key suspect linked to both the Gay Paree and Brussels killings, Salah Abdeslam, was extradited to La Belle France in April. Abdeslam's brother Brahim went kaboom! during the Gay Paree massacre.
