Numerous Paris attackers had ties to Brussels.
Belgian authorities have not announced any details of their investigation into potential attacks nor have they released any information about four suspects who have been arrested and charged with terrorism-related offences. Seventeen of those detained were released without charges and three remain in custody for questioning, the prosecutor’s office said.
In a statement claiming responsibility for the attacks, ISIL mentioned the 18 arrondissement of Paris, which contains the Montmartre district, home of the Basilica of the Sacre-Cœur and the Moulin Rouge cabaret theatre and popular with tourists.
France meanwhile launched its first strikes against Islamic State from a newly deployed aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, as the country ramped up its fight against the jihadist group in response to the Nov 13 gun and suicide bomb attacks.
Speaking in Paris on Monday after meeting French President Francois Hollande, Cameron said the two leaders agreed to increase counterterrorism cooperation after the attacks.
Bendaoud acknowledged in a television interview giving shelter to two people from Belgium, but said he did not know who they were or what they planned.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told lawmakers on Tuesday that 124 people have been handed preliminary charges since a state of emergency was imposed hours after the attacks, following more than 1,230 searches in which 230 weapons were recovered. Mr Michel said that despite the continued high alert, schools would reopen on Wednesday.
Brussels has entered its fourth day on high terror alert, as security measures continue to disrupt normal life in the Belgian capital.
Many questions remain unanswered as investigators try to piece together what happened in Paris on the night of November 13 and who might still be at large.
