Belgian prosecutors said on Thursday they have arrested a 10th suspect over the jihadist attacks in Paris last month and charged him with terror offences.
The Belgian national, identified only as Ayoub B., was detained on Wednesday during a raid on a house in the troubled Brussels neighbourhood of Molenbeek, a statement from the federal prosecutor’s office said.
He has been charged with “terrorist murder” and involvement in the activities of a terrorist group, it said, adding that he will appear in court again within five days for a custody hearing.
Molenbeek is home to the Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam and has emerged as a European hotbed of Islamist extremism. Two men arrested over the plot were to appear in court on Thursday.
