On the eve of the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, Belgium conducted a series of raids resulting in the detention of seven individuals for questioning regarding suspected terrorist activities. The Belgian Federal prosecutor's office stated that the detainees, apprehended in 14 raids across the country, are believed to be involved in terrorist group activities, financing terrorism, and planning a terrorist attack. The specific objectives of the suspects have not yet been identified by investigators.
French Interior Minister expressed gratitude towards Belgium for their efforts in safeguarding against potential threats, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism. The raids did not lead to any arrests in France, and authorities are awaiting further information on the operation.
