Belgium stages dozens of anti-terror raids, 12 held

BRUSSELS, (APP/AFP) – “Several dozen”
anti-terror raids were carried out across Belgium overnight in
a case that needed “immediate intervention”, and 12 people
have been held, federal prosecutors said Saturday.
The raids took place in 16 communes in Brussels,
Flanders and Wallonia and “passed off without incident,”
they said in a statement, adding that “no arms or ammunition
have been found up to now.”
