Two new suspects charged over Paris terror attacks that killed 130 people
TWO more suspects have been charged in connection with the Paris terror attacks that killed 130 people in November 2015.
Belgian officials announced that the suspects are suspected of providing documents used in the preparation of the attack, claimed by ISIS.
Belgian police detained a man and a woman in a house search in the Brussels suburb of Laeken yesterday, prosecutors said.
The woman, identified as Meryem E. B., was released under strict conditions. The man, named as Farid K., remained in custody. They have both been charged with participating in the activities of a terrorist organisation.
Khalid El Bakraoui was involved in planning the attacks in Paris on the evening of November 13 2015 in which 130 people were killed. He then blew himself up in the Brussels metro last March, as part of coordinated attacks that killed 32 people.
Investigators later established that the attackers in Paris and Brussels were all carried out by the same ISIS cell, and have been looking for their accomplices ever since.
Bakraoui rented, under a false name, an apartment in the city's Forest borough where police hunting Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam killed another suspected militant in a raid weeks before the attacks in Brussels.
Abdeslam was dropped in the northern Brussels district of Laeken early on the afternoon after the Paris attack, officials say.
He was arrested by police during a raid in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels in March.
He is also believed to have rented a safe house in the southern Belgian city of Charleroi used in preparation for the Paris attacks.
On November 13 2015, 89 people were killed in a massacre at the Bataclan theatre where Eagles Of Death Metal were performing.
Suicide bombers – Frenchmen Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, Samy Amimour, 28, and Foued Mohamed-Aggad, 23 – stormed into the theatre while attackers also targeted cafes and the Stade de France.
A total of 130 people died in the devastating assault on the French capital.
The only known survivor of the on-the-ground cell is Salah Abdeslam, who lived in Brussels but failed to set off his suicide bomb at the Stade de France.
He remains in a high security prison just outside Paris, and faces multiple life sentences for his involvement in the murders.
