Belgium announced a counter-terrorism clampdown in the Sint-Jans-Molenbeek district of Brussels after seven people with suspected links to Friday’s attacks in Paris were arrested in the immigrant-heavy neighborhood.
Two of the killers who died in the Paris attacks have been identified as French citizens living in the Belgian capital, one in Molenbeek, the federal prosecutor’s office said Sunday in a statement. Prosecutors declined to reveal the identities of the deceased or the seven suspects because the probe is continuing. French investigators are currently in Brussels, according to the statement.
