Brussels ISIL terror cell

The friendly football match between Belgium and Spain, which was scheduled to take place at the King Baudouin stadium in Brussels on Tuesday evening, was cancelled due to security concerns following the attacks in Paris on Friday.

The attacks at six sites across the French capital claimed the lives of 129 people and left hundreds injured.

Anti-terror squads are on a huge manhunt for accessories of the Paris Attacks on Friday, November 13, with investigations in many countries around Europe, mainly France, Belgium and Greece. The course of the jihadists who struck against civilians is being traced through these three regions and police are scouring areas in these countries with surgical precision.

* The first attacker to be identified was Omar Ismail Mostefai, aged 29, who is said to have been one of the group of at least three terrorists who spread fear, panic and death at the Bataclan concert on Friday. As police stormed the building he blew himself up, leaving police to identify his body through fingerprints.

One of the eight attackers, who carried out gun and bomb attacks at six sites across Paris on Friday night, has been identified as a Frenchman.

French police said that one of the attackers at the Bataclan concert hall, where many people had been held hostages before security forces stormed the building, was identified by his fingerprints as a Frenchman known to security services.

French prosecutors said on Nov. 14 that three coordinated teams of gunmen and suicide bombers carried out a wave of attacks across Paris that killed 129 people, while one of the attackers' identity was determined.  

A 33-year-old Algerian man with suspected links to the jihadist cell dismantled by Belgian security forces last week agreed on Jan. 20 to be extradited from Greece, a justice source said.
      
The suspect "wants to prove his innocence" and a Greek prosecutor has also agreed to meet Belgium's request for the extradition, the source said.        

A 33-year-old Algerian national arrested in connection with a deadly raid on a suspected Islamist cell in Belgium last week is set to appear before a prosecutor Tuesday at noon.

Belgian authorities have requested his extradition on terrorism charges.

A 33-year-old Algerian man is due to appear before a prosecutor on Monday after being arrested over the weekend as part the investigation that followed a raid on a suspected Islamist cell in Belgium a few days earlier.

No link has been established between at least four people arrested by Greek anti-terrorism police and a jihadist cell broken up this week in Belgium, the Belgian prosecutor's office said Jan. 18.
     
"There is no connection between these people and the enquiry" in Belgium, Eric Van Der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor's office, said.        

Greek police detained four people on Saturday over alleged links to an Islamist cell in Belgium, where two suspected terrorists were shot by officers on Thursday.

One of the men, aged 27 is alleged to have been in regular contact with the cell in the Belgian town of Verviers, where two extremists were killed and one arrested.
