Sixth Paris Suspect Charged In Belgium

The prosecutor’s office also announced that a man who drove fugitive Salah Abdeslam through the Belgian capital after the attacks will be kept in custody for at least a month.

The first two people to be charged in Belgium over the Paris attacks were Mohammed Amri, 27, and Hamza Attou, 20, who were accused three days after the attack of helping Salah Abdeslam escape to Brussels.

The country’s prime minister had warned that another attack could be “imminent”. Belgian broadcaster RTBF reported that they were the father and the brother of one of the men charged in Brussels.

Two of the men were killed and the other was arrested.

According to the Bild newspaper the guns were allegedly sold at the beginning of November and may have been used in the Paris attacks.

The suspect is also accused of converting legal starter pistols to fire live ammunition, then selling them on the internet.

The hunt for suspects of the Paris attacks goes on in the Brussels area during the three-day tournament.

Even before the threat level was lowered, some elements of normalcy had returned – schools and transit were reopened on Wednesday, for example – although the city remained jittery, its streets patrolled by soldiers and armored vehicles.

The world number two, Britain’s Andy Murray, will take on Ruben Bemelmans of Belgium, after Kyle Edmund and David Goffin get the best-of-five tournament started. Flying the French flag in a garden – for decades considered bad taste or a symbol of ultranationalism – is now back in favor with the French after the deadly attacks on Paris.

As when he arrived, French President Francois Hollande left the Invalides national monument walking alone. Mohamed Abrini, 30, was filmed on November 11, in the company of Salah Abdeslam at a motorway service station in the French town of Ressons, heading in the direction of Paris, Xinhua quoted the prosecutor as saying on Tuesday. The national anthem, which became a symbol of the country’s resilience from the moment the terrified crowd filed out of the Stade de France in song, will ring out.
