Armed police officers in Belgium have apprehended three suspects believed to have a hand in the terror attacks on Brussels, but more are “still at large” the Belgian Foreign Ministry said.
A dramatic stand-off in the city center ended with two men being held at gunpoint by police before being arrested, reported the Daily Mail.
The apprehensions took place just one mile from the Maelbeek subway station, where multiple bombs were detonated on Tuesday.
The attacks there came a short time after multiple explosions at the city’s airport.
Combined, the explosions have killed at least 34 people and wounded dozens of others.
A third suspect was arrested on a train near Amsterdam.
An Iraqi intelligence official said the attacks were not originally planned for Brussels but were switched there after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, believed to be the top man behind the Paris terror attacks late last year.
Among the partners in the hunt for suspects are the CIA and MI5.
