Belgian prosecutors have charged a man with terrorist offences, in connection with Tuesday's attacks in Brussels that left 31 dead, including three bombers. He was named as Faycal C and was arrested on Thursday.
At least half the victims died at the airport, the rest in an attack on the metro in suicide bombings claimed by so-called ISIS. Zaventem — Brussels international airport — will not reopen before Tuesday, authorities have announced.
Meanwhile a demonstration against the attacks, planned for Sunday in central Brussels, has been cancelled after a request from the authorities. Organisers said people's security was a top priority. Police pressed ahead on Saturday with the search for suspects in Belgium’s worst ever terror attack, as a series of raids and arrests revealed more links with the November Paris killings and a new French plot.
The Government meanwhile came in for a torrent of criticism, with key ministers on the back foot saying they had done everything possible to prevent Tuesday’s airport and metro attacks which left 31 dead and some 300 wounded.
