Belgium raids lead to 16 arrests, key fugitive still at large 벨기에, 테러용의자 16명 체

Belgium is on edge as local authorities take action to protect their citizens from possible terrorist action. They′ve rounded up a number of suspects... but Salah Abdeslam,... a key fugitive from the Paris attacks... remains at large. Oh Soo-young has the details. Over the last few days, Belgian police have carried out a total of 22 late-night raids, capturing 16 people with suspected links to the Paris terror attacks. However, they are still looking for the last surving Paris attacker, Salah Abdeslam, who is on the run. ″Until now, no firearms or explosives were found. Salah Abdelslam is not among the persons arrested during the searches.″ The search for Europe′s most wanted man has stretched from Paris to Brussels and now Germany. Belgian authorities said Abdeslam was last spotted Sunday evening, near the city of Liege, heading towards Germany. Brussels continues to be on lock down for the third straight day under a maximum terror alert. It′s believed to be a base for many Jihadists networks in the region. And authorities believe at least two people were planning imminent attacks in Brussels. While Europe is on high alert, France is gearing up to strike back. France’s aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, is due to arrive in Syria on Monday, carrying 26 fighter jets which will be ″fully operational″ for airstrikes against the Islamic State. To rally a united coalition against the Islamic Stae group, French President Francois Hollande is meeting British Prime Minister David Cameron in Paris, Monday,... before heading to Washington and Moscow later this week for further defense talks.
