Paris attacks: Police launch six raids in Brussels
An official said the raids were linked to Bilal Hadfi, one of three suicide bombers who attempted to enter the Stade de France football stadium last Friday
Authorities in Belgium have launched six raids in the Brussels region linked to Paris suicide bomber Bilal Hadfi.
An official in the Belgian federal prosecutor's office said that the raids were taking place in Molenbeek and other areas of Brussels.
Bilal Hadfi has been identified as one of three attackers at the Stade de France stadium. The raids are centering on "his entourage," the official said.
French PM Manuel Valls has warned there is "a risk" that extremists could use chemical and biological weapons to target France. "Terrorism hit France, not because of what it is doing in Iraq and Syria... But for what it is," he told MPs this morning as he urged them to extend a state of emergency to three months.
