Your support makes all the difference.Six more suspects have been brought in for questioning over an alleged Isis plot to attack high-profile targets in Brussels over the festive period.
Police searched seven locations in Molenbeek, Anderlecht, Laeken and Leeuw-Saint-Pierre on Thursday morning, seizing computers and telephones that are being investigated.
A spokesperson for the federal prosecutor's office said a magistrate will decide whether arrest warrants should be issued against the six suspects.
Two men have already been arrested in connection with the suspected plot, who are both members of a motorcycle club. A judge ordered them to be held for another month as investigations continued today.
