Salah Abdeslam

Belgian police arrested six people in the Brussels suburb of Schaerbeek on Thursday as the manhunt for suspects in Tuesday's terrorist attacks targeting Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station continues.

It is still unclear whether the arrested people are connected to the attacks and their identities have not been revealed yet.

According to Belgian network Rtbf, 11 employees have been banned from entering the Tihange nuclear plant, after the twin attacks in Brussels, Tuesday. The network reports that there had been an initial ban on 7 employees following the arrest of Salah Abdeslamm, but 4 more were banned access after the two terrorist attacks.

Belgium's interior and justice ministers offered their resignations over the Brussels attacks but they were rejected by Prime Minister Charles Michel, Belgian media said on March 24.

Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam is now willing to be extradited to France, his lawyer has said.

The news, reported by AFP came after Abdeslam had been insisting he would fight the extradition request.

Abdeslam was captured in a special operation in Brussels last week. Some sources suggest  the deadly attacks in Brussels on Tuesday are linked to his arrest.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group has trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe in deadly waves of attacks, deploying interlocking terror cells like the ones that struck Brussels and Paris with orders to choose the time, place and method for maximum chaos, officials have told The Associated Press.

According to the Belgian Federal prosecutor, Frederic Van Leeuw Brahim El Bakraoui had dumped a laptop in a rubbish bin just before he carried out his attack at the metro station in Brussels. Newspaper ‘Le Soir’ reported that the laptop contained audio excerpt where the suicide bomber can be heard saying he did not want to be imprisoned like Salah Abdeslam, who was arrested last week in Paris.

Belgian media backtracked after initial reports that Najim Laachraoui, the main surviving suspect sought by police in relation to the deadly attacks in Brussels on Tuesday, has been detained.

Belgian prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw announced on Wednesday afternoon the suspect was still on the run.

Belgian newspaper DH reports that the third bombing suspect who fled the airport on Monday, Najim Laachraoui, has been arrested in Anderlecht.

The man shown at the photo below standing next to the two arrested attackers and wearing a hat is Nazim Lachraoui. The Belgian authorities arrested him on

Wednesday morning at a pizza restaurant, after launching a manhunt.

Two suicide bombers who blew themselves up at Brussels airport are believed to be brothers who were being sought for links with key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, RTBF television reported on March 23, citing police sources.

The Belgian authorities confirmed that brothers Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui are among Brussels Airport suicide bombers.

According to Belgian broadcaster RTBF, the brothers were known to police for links to organized crime.

In the meantime, authorities have released a manhunt to find the third attacker.
