Belgian police were holding three people for questioning after anti-terror raids late Saturday in central Brussels, reports said. Four raids took place in the Molenbeek district but no arms or explosives were found, the Belga news agency said, citing a spokeswoman for the Brussels prosecutor’s office. Press reports said the Molenbeek raids took place late evening, with armed police setting up a security perimeter during the operation. Some 20 people have been charged in Belgium in connection with the Paris attacks. Investigators say the Paris and Brussels attacks were carried out by the same cell.
