Police arrest two in new anti-terror raids in Belgium

From France 24 

Belgian police detained two men for questioning after fresh anti-terror raids overnight, the federal prosecutor’s office said Saturday amid reports of a planned attack on a Euro 2016 fanzone.

“One man was arrested in (the eastern town of) Verviers and another man in Tournai,” close to the French border, a spokesman said.”It is too soon to talk about a terror attack. The two men have to be questioned first”

Last week, Belgium charged three men with “attempted terrorist murder” after massive anti-terror raids linked to a reported threat to fans during a Euro 2016 football game.

Belgium police killed two IS jihadis in a raid in Verviers in January 2015 who were later found to be linked to the cells involved in both the Brussels and Paris attacks.
