Belgian police and soldiers sealed off part of central Brussels after finding gas canisters in a car driven by a man known to have been radicalised, officials said.
Belgium remains on high alert as it prepares to mark the first anniversary of last year’s Islamic State-inspired attacks on the Brussels metro and airport which killed 32 people.
Prosecutor’s spokesman Ine Van Wymersch said authorities did not want to take any chances and acted quickly ‘since the driver was known by judicial authorities and it was unclear why the gas canisters were there’.
‘We are taking the case seriously,’ Ms Van Wymersch added. She said the suspect was being interrogated.
