France hands over jihadist suspect to Belgium
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOne of two Belgian brothers linked to a dismantled jihadist cell has been handed over to Belgium after he was arrested in France last month, the prosecutor’s office says.
The suspect, Souhaib El Abdi, 25, is now in custody and he will appear before a judge in the coming days, the office says.
El Abdi is suspected of “participating in a terrorist group” and of recruiting for the dismantled jihadist cell.
Belgium has been on high alert since a cell believed to have been plotting attacks on police on the street and in stations was dismantled on January 15. El Abdi’s brother Ismael was also linked to the plot.
