10th suspect arrested in Paris attacks probe
The Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office says a 10th suspect is arrested in the Paris attacks probe.
The office adds that numerous cellphones are seized as part of the investigation as well.
Belgians officials also say six more people have been brought in for questioning and seven searches carried out in connection with a suspected plot to stage extremist attacks over the holidays.
The Federal Prosecutor’s Office says the police searches were executed in the morning in various Brussels-area locations. It says a magistrate will decide whether arrest warrants should be issued against six people brought in for questioning.
Two men have already been arrested in connection with the suspected plot, both members of a motorcycle club. A judge ordered them held for another month.
