Belgium hunts possible accomplice of Jewish museum shooter

Belgian police are looking for a possible accomplice of the gunman who killed four people in an attack on the Jewish museum in Brussels in May, prosecutors said on Friday.

 

French national Mehdi Nemmouche, in custody in Belgium, is suspected of having carried out the attack after spending most of 2013 fighting in Syria with Islamist rebels.

 

Authorities are now looking for a man who was seen walking beside Nemmouche near Brussels North railway station four days after the attack.

 

"We want this person to explain his presence there," a spokesman for Belgium's federal prosecutors said.
