Paris attacks suspect Abdeslam planned to "restart something in Brussels": Belgian FM

Xinhua, March 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Salah Abdeslam, the Paris attacks suspect who was arrested Friday in Belgium, said he had been planning to "restart something in Brussels", Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said on Sunday.

Addressing a forum here on Sunday, the foreign minister said it maybe the reality as security forces found "a lot of weapons" in the operation led to Abdeslam's arrest in the Belgian capital.

The suspect had a network around him, Reynders said, according to reports of euronews.

Abdeslam was charged Saturday with "terrorist murders and participation in the activities of a terrorist group," said the Belgian federal prosecutor's office.

Abdeslam, one of the most wanted men in Europe, is suspected of involvement in attacks in Paris as a logistician. These attacks killed 130 people in Paris on Nov. 13, 2015. Endit
