Belgian FM: Paris terror suspect was planning new acts

Belgium’s foreign minister says Paris terror suspect Salah Abdeslam told investigators he was planning to “restart something” from Brussels.

Foreign Minister Didier Reynders says that Abdeslam claims “he was ready to restart something from Brussels, and it’s maybe the reality.”

Reynders says authorities are taking the claim seriously because “we found a lot of weapons, heavy weapons in the first investigations, and we have seen a new network of people around him in Brussels.”

Abdeslam, captured Friday in a police raid in Brussels, is charged with “terrorist murder” by Belgian authorities. He is a top suspect in the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead.
