Brussels raids linked to bombings widen across neighborhoods
Brussels police conducted Friday raids in Schaerbeek Forest and Saint-Gilles in a crackdown tied to this week’s bombings and a suspected French plot. Three people detained, two shot in the leg, one with a bag near a young girl. A bomb squad examined the bag as residents reported loud blasts during a two hour operation amid national mourning. The raids come as France seeks extradition of Salah Abdeslam and authorities press on with investigations into Najim Laachraoui and other suspects linked to the Paris and Brussels attacks.
