Belgium terror alert: Six more suspects arrested over 'Isis plot' to attack Brussels over festive period

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.
