Belgian police have detained eight people as part of an investigation into a possible jihadist plan to commit terrorist attacks. Arrests were made in the capital Brussels, in the port city of Antwerp, and in the town of Eupen near the border with Germany. None of the eight has been charged. All are still in custody.
A statement from the Belgian state prosecutor said the detentions were associated with two inquiries, one led by federal police in Brussels and the other by an investigating magistrate in Antwerp.
