Man charged in Belgium attack plot

Brussels: Belgian authorities on Saturday charged a man over an alleged plot to launch a new attack in Belgium as Europe remained on edge following a wave of jihadist bloodshed in France and Germany.

An investigating judge charged Nourredine H., 33, with attempting to commit “terrorist murder” and “taking part in the activities of a terrorist organisation,” the federal prosecutor's office said.

It said the charges come in the “case opened concerning a possible terrorist attack in Belgium.” He was arrested along with his brother Hamza H. following raids.
