Counter-Terror Police Arrest Man Suspected Of Plotting Attack On US Embassy.
Belgian counter-terror police have arrested a man suspected of plotting an attack against the US embassy in Brussels, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The man identified only as M.G. appeared Monday morning before an investigating judge who ordered him held, it added.A source close to the investigation told AFP the suspect is a Belgian man around 40 years old and a convert to Islam who had “raised suspicion because of his behaviour”.He had been seen “scouting” the embassy area before he was arrested, the source added, speaking on condition of anonymity.A spokesman for the US embassy said, “We have no comment at this time.
The last “terrorist attack” occurred in the eastern city of Liege on May 29 last year when Benjamin Herman shot dead two women police officers and a student.Since the end of January 2018, the terror alert level in Belgium has been set at two, which means an attack is considered unlikely, the same as it was before January 2015.
