Belgian police arrested six people in the Brussels suburb of Schaerbeek on Thursday as the manhunt for suspects in Tuesday's terrorist attacks targeting Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station continues.

It is still unclear whether the arrested people are connected to the attacks and their identities have not been revealed yet.

Two days after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium that killed over 31 people and injured hundreds, the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/Daesh) released a propaganda video calling on its ‘brothers’ to ‘rise up and for jihad’.

The interior ministers of the member states of the EU will convene at an extraordinary meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) council in Brussels on Thursday.

The meeting has been summoned by the Dutch presidency of the Council of the EU in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday.

Belgium's interior and justice ministers offered their resignations over the Brussels attacks but they were rejected by Prime Minister Charles Michel, Belgian media said on March 24.

Revelations from Turkey that it had informed Belgium that at least one of the bombers in the March 22 Brussels attack was a jihadist fighter have rocked the Western European country after authorities failed to prevent the deadly assault.

One of the attackers in the Brussels suicide bombings was deported from Turkey twice last year, despite Turkish president saying having deported the attacker once, and the authorities warned their European counterparts that they suspected him of being a militant fighter, two Turkish officials said on March 24. 

A Belgian minister has said they were aware one of the Brussels bombers was deported from Turkey to the Netherlands last year, one day after Turkey's president made the news of the attacker's deportation public. 

A train station in Belgium has been evacuated due to a bomb threat.

Police have rushed at the station in Leuven located just 25km from Brussels and are searching the area.

New information brought to light reveals that the initial target of the terrorists responsible for the deadly attacks in Brussels was Belgian nuclear plant.

Turkey deported one of the Brussels attackers and alerted the Belgian authorities about him last year, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

However, Belgium had found no links with terorism of the deportee and released him, Erdogan said at a joint news conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Ankara, Turkish news daily Sabah reported on Wednesday.
