Belgian authorities continued their ongoing probe into homegrown terrorist cells in connection with last month’s attack in Paris, as they searched a house in the troubled Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels on Sunday.

On Sunday evening police raided a building near the fashionable Dansaert district of central Brussels, detaining two brothers and their friend. YVES HERMAN/REUTERS Belgian cops searched on orders from an investigating judicial judge who focuses on terrorism.
The prosecutor’s office said an analysis of phone records led to Sunday’s search.
Two more people were detained on Monday in a raid in the Laeken area, in the north of the city.
Investigators believe that the person who was in possession of the mobile phones may have coordinated the Paris attacks, according to Het Nieuwsblad.
Police said no guns or explosives were discovered during the raids, and did not identify those detained.
In France, people traveling on high-speed trains from France to Belgium and the Netherlands now must pass through new metal detectors.
The spokesperson went on to say that an official statement would be released on Monday once there was more information.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, and 11 people in Belgium have been arrested in connection with the terror plot so far.
A French source close to the investigation confirmed Le Parisien’s report that one of the attackers at the Bataclan concert hall where 90 people were massacred sent a text message to a Belgian number saying “It’s on, we’ve started”.

The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks hid out in a makeshift camp for four nights before he moved to a nearby flat where police later killed him, it has emerged.
