Belgium arrests eight amid ‘terror attack’ fears: Prosecutor


Police have detained eight people “suspected of having made preparations to commit a terrorist attack in Belgium,” the federal prosecutor’s office said Tuesday.

Raids were conducted late Monday on residences in the capital Brussels, the port city of Antwerp and the border town of Eupen, the statement said.

Separately, a judicial source told AFP that those arrested “were very young, radicalized people” suspected of belonging to an extremist movement.
