Belgium to ask Greece to extradite terror suspect
Belgium will request the extradition of a suspect arrested in Greece who could be linked to a jihadist cell smashed by Belgian security forces earlier this week, federal prosecutors said Sunday.
“Out of two suspects arrested, there is one who could be linked” to the group, the prosecutors’ spokesman Thierry Werts told RTL television. “There are sufficient elements to seek his extradition,” he said.
He declined to comment on the identity of the suspect or his alleged role in the cell, which, according to Belgian police, was planning to kill police officers.
