Federal prosecutors in Brussels confirmed that a car with Belgian number plates had been seen close to the Bataclan theatre on Friday night, scene of the worst bloodshed. 

At least one of the detained was in Paris at the time of the terror attacks, Belgium’s Prime Minister Charles Michel said. As of now, out of the 129 victims of the terror attacks in Paris, at least three were Belgian nationals.

“Police operations will go on,” Reuters cited Michel as saying on the RTL TV channel. Belgian media reported that a police operation in Molenbeek, inhabited by large number of families originating from Morocco and Turkey, continued overnight.

Meanwhile, Belgian anti-terror police launched a series of raids after three suspects were arrested returning from France.
