Paris attacks: Belgian police raid properties linked to suspects
Belgian police have raided properties linked to suspected Paris attackers Bilal Hadfi and Salah Abdeslam.
Several raids took place in and around Brussels, and one person has been detained, Belgian prosecutors said.
French
PM Manuel Valls has warned that France could face chemical or
biological attack from terror groups, as deputies voted to extend the
state of emergency after the attacks.
Friday's attacks in the French capital killed 129 and wounded many more.
Most of the raids in the Belgian capital on Thursday
targeted properties in Jette and Molenbeek connected to Bilal Hadfi, a
Frenchman living in Brussels who was one of the seven attackers killed
in Paris.
A further raid, at an address in the Brussels district
of Laeken, was linked to Salah Abdeslam - another of the attackers, who
is believed to be on the run - Belgian prosecutors told the BBC.
However, the raids had been planned for some time and were not part of the manhunt, the prosecutor's office told Belgian media.
Belgian authorities were already investigating Hadfi as he was thought to have travelled to Syria.
