Belgian authorities have detained 5 people, including two brothers, after two days of raids related to Paris attacks.
But the 26-year-old fugitive Salah Abdeslam – who was allegedly directly involved in the November 13 attacks – was not one of the detained.
“A search is ongoing in Brussels, one person was taken in for questioning”, federal prosecutor spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt told AFP, confirming a report by Belgium’s RTBF broadcaster.
The house, which is located close to the district of Molenbeek, where at least three of the alleged Paris attackers lived, was searched following “a thorough analysis of phone records”, the statement said. They were led to believe he was wearing explosives, the source said. Five of them have been identified.
Hamza Attou – who with another man, Mohammed Amri, is suspected of driving Abdeslam to Brussels – was quoted as saying he had been threatened.
Among the remains of food, police found packaging from a SIM card and batteries with wires attached, Le Parisien reported.
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.
