Antwerp federal police carried out five searches in Merksem, Borgerhout, Deurne, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek and Eupen on Monday night at the request of an investigating judge. The prosecutor's office said five people were arrested, but it didn't give details about what was found.
"At least two of the people involved are suspected of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Belgium. The target of the attack has not yet been determined," prosecutors said.
Meanwhile, Brussels federal police carried out raids in the nearby localities of Zaventem, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek and Schaerbeek as part of a separate case, and arrested three people.
"These people are also suspected of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Belgium," the office said. "There are links between the two cases, but further investigation will have to reveal the extent to which the two cases were intertwined."
