Brussels police said they are questioning seven people arrested in a series of overnight raids connected to Tuesday’s ISIS terror attacks on the city. Among those held are three suspects who were reportedly detained Thursday in a car “outside the door of the federal prosecutor’s office,” according to spokesman Eric Van der Sypt. The Flemish-language Belgian newspaper De Standaard reported early Friday that police have also arrested a man who was seen on surveillance footage with the suspected suicide bombers at Brussels Airport; Reuters reports prosecutors wouldn’t confirm the arrest, and it wasn’t known if he was among those taken into custody overnight.
