Belgium charges sixth suspect over Paris attacks

Belgium has charged a sixth suspect with terrorist offences over the November 13 attacks in Paris after a series of house searches in Brussels and southern Belgium on Thursday.

 

Federal prosecutors said on Friday that they had charged a man detained in Brussels with terrorist murders and participation in the activities of a terrorist group.

 

Two other people picked up in the eastern town of Verviers on Thursday were released. Belgian broadcaster RTBF said they were the brother and father of the man charged.

 

A court also ordered on Friday that a suspect named as Ali O. and an unidentified person who was picked up on Monday morning be held in custody for a month.
