Another suspect has been arrested in connection with the March 22 terrorist attacks in Brussels. The man was detained following a raid on his house in the Belgian capital. “The Belgian national Ali E.H.A., born on September 23, 1984, was arrested and later put in detention by the investigating judge for participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempted terrorist murders, as a perpetrator, co-perpetrator or accomplice,” said a statement from the state prosecutor’s office. The 31-year-old man was detained in the Schaerbeek neighborhood of the Belgian capital, Brussels, late on Thursday, DPA reported. The arrest came just a day after a Belgian court allowed the extradition of Mohamed Abrini to move forward. Abrini is thought to have participated in both the attacks in Paris in November and the violence in Brussels at Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek Metro Station. Abrini has confessed to being the “man in the hat” seen on airport security footage who meant to detonate a third suicide vest in the departures hall but fled after the bomb failed to go off. IS have claimed both attacks.
