Abdelhamid Abaaoud

A five-year-old Belgian-Moroccan girl, who had been abducted by his father and taken to Syria in 2017, has finally returned home 1.5 years later, Turkish local media has reported.

A secretive Isis unit that trained the perpetrators of the Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks has been teaching British fighters to attack targets in the UK, according to a fighter captured by Kurdish forces in Syria.

European police have been placed on high alert, following reports that 15-year old Younes Abaaoud, brother of Paris mastermind terrorist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, has left Syria and is on his way to Belgium to avenge his older brother’s death. Younes has been described as the youngest jihadist fighter of ISIS in the media.

A photograph of a man named as terrorism suspect Reda Kriket, which had been distributed by the French interior ministry and widely circulated in the media, has turned out to be a case of mistaken identity, a French news show reported this week.

The photograph shows a young man with close-cropped hair and stubble who is not, in fact, Reda Kriket, Le Petit Journal reported.

Various diagrams and a map of Brussels airport hit by terrorists on Tuesday were found on computers and USB sticks at an apartment located at Pagrati area in Athens, Greece, as TV station SKAI reported.

The apartment was used as a hideout of the ringleader of the Paris terror attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, until January 2015.

The two brothers who blew themselves up in the deadly train and airport attacks in Brussels were known by police for serious crimes and are linked to last November's Paris massacre.

Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui are Belgian nationals with major convictions "not linked to terrorism," federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said at a dramatic news briefing on March 23.

One suspect has been shot dead in a counter-terrorism raid in Brussels linked to last year's terror attacks in Paris in which 130 people were killed, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

As many as two other suspects are reportedly on the run after Belgian police raided an apartment in Forest, a south Brussels suburb, according to the BBC.

An Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leader with "direct" links to the alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks was killed in an air strike in Syria as he was plotting additional attacks, the Pentagon said Dec. 29.

The Belgian authorities have charged a ninth person in connection with last month's deadly Paris attacks, the prosecutor's office said Dec. 24.

A spokesman said the suspect had telephoned Hasna Aitboulachen, the cousin of ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, several times after the Nov. 13 attacks and before a police raid five days later in which they both died.

A 29-year-old man was arrested in the Paris region on Dec. 15 as part of the vast investigation into last month's attacks on the city that left 130 dead, a judicial source said.
