A suspect in the Brussels airport and metro train attacks is under arrest and has been charged with terrorist murder and other offences, the federal prosecutor’s office said Saturday.

“He has been charged with taking part in a terrorist group, terrorist murder and attempted terrorist murder,” the prosecutor said, naming the suspect as Faycal C, one of six people detained in police raids Thursday.
