Police in Belgium made seven arrests Saturday in connection with Friday’s bloody terror assaults in Paris that killed at least 129 people, officials said.
Seven of the aggressors involved in the bloody attacks in Paris on Friday are dead. Two of those assailants were French men residing in Brussels, the Belgian official told the Associated Press. One of the two attackers lived in Brussels’ Molenbeek neighborhood, an area considered a breeding ground for extremists, according to the Associated Press.
A video posted to the Times of Oman’s YouTube page showed the moment Belgian authorities arrested three people with possible links to the Paris attacks, which killed 129 and injured hundreds of others.
The arrests in Belgium were tied to “suspect vehicles,” according to Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel.
“A case has immediately been opened linked to suspect vehicles in Paris, to check people linked to those vehicles,” Michel told German TV station RTL, per i24News. “There have been several arrests.”
This is not the first time the organization of terrorist attacks has been tied to the area of Molenbeek. Assailants involved in both the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the train 2004 bombings in Madrid were reportedly connected to the Molenbeek neighborhood.
