Key Paris attacks suspect, several others arrested in Belgium

 

Authorities arrested several terror suspects in Belgium, including the last known fugitive on the run after November's deadly Paris attacks, multiple media outlets reported Friday.
The Belgian prosecutor's office would only confirm officially that "several arrests" were made in connection to the March 22 attacks that killed 32 at Brussels Airport and a downtown subway station. The office declined to identify those apprehended.
Eric Van der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office, is quoted by CNN, however, as saying that Mohamed Abrini, 31, a key suspect in the assault on the French capital last year, was one of two people arrested. He identified the other as Osama Krayem, who is linked to the Brussels metro attack.
Two Paris police officials, speaking to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, also confirmed Abrini's arrest.
The arrests come one day after authorities released new surveillance videos showing the "man in the hat" who fled the airport just before the attack.
