After The Arrest Of Paris Terror Suspect Salah Abdeslam Investigators Have Uncovered A Huge Cache Of Weapons, Supporters, And Plans For More Attacks

New York Times: Paris Suspect Planned to ‘Restart Something’ in Brussels, Officials Say

BRUSSELS — Salah Abdeslam, the man believed to be a direct participant in the November attacks in Paris who was arrested on Friday, was planning to “restart something” in Brussels, Belgium’s foreign minister said on Sunday.

At a German Marshall Fund forum here, Didier Reynders, the deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister, said Mr. Abdeslam had told investigators that “he was ready to restart something in Brussels.”

“It is maybe the reality because, as I said, we have found a lot of weapons, a lot of heavy weapons, in the first investigations,” Mr. Reynders said. “And we have seen a new network of people around him in Brussels.”

Mr. Reynders also said the number of people thought to have been directly or indirectly involved in the Nov. 13 attacks continued to expand, both in Belgium and in France.

“We are sure that for the moment we have found more than 30 people involved in the terrorist attacks in Paris, but we are sure there are others,” he said.

WNU Editor: According to investigators .... they believe that 30+ people were involved in the Paris attacks, that this terror network is huge, and that they were planning more attacks. But what I find disturbing is the apparent widespread support that he had in his community to protect him .... Paris fugitive helped more by friends and neighbours than Islamic State (The Star).
