Another man was also charged with “terrorist murders" over the Brussels metro bombing as investigators linked more clearly than ever the militants involved in both France and Belgium’s worst ever terror outrages, claimed by ISIL. Two other men suspected of helping them were charged with complicity following raids across Brussels on Friday that netted all four. Two others arrested with Abrini were released on Saturday.
