比利時警方逮捕兩名恐襲嫌犯

Belgian police have arrested two people on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack on popular sites in Brussels on New Year’s Eve.

比利時警方逮捕了兩名涉嫌策劃於新年除夕夜在布魯塞爾著名景點發動恐怖襲擊的嫌犯。

Authorities found “military-style Islamic State propaganda material” during raids in Brussels and its outskirts, as well as the region surrounding Liège, according to federal prosecutors.

據比利時聯邦檢察官們表示，當局在布魯塞爾（Brussels）及其郊區，以及列日省（Liège）周邊地區採取的突擊行動中，發現了“具有軍隊風格的伊斯蘭國（Islamic State）宣傳資料”。

Belgium has become the main focus of anti-terror operations in Europe following the Paris attacks in November that killed 130 people and were orchestrated from Belgium.

繼11月那起由恐怖分子在比利時策劃操縱、在巴黎實施、致使130人遇害的恐怖襲擊以來，比利時已成爲歐洲反恐行動的焦點。

Prosecutors stressed that the arrests this week were unconnected to the attacks in France and that no weapons or explosives were found. In total, six people were taken in for questioning but four were later released.

檢察官們強調，本週的逮捕行動與巴黎的恐襲無關，也沒有發現武器或爆炸裝置。一共逮捕了6人，經審問後4人獲釋。

A spokesperson for the federal prosecutor said that the investigation “highlighted the serious threats against several emblematic sites in Brussels” over the holidays.

聯邦檢察官的一名發言人稱，此次調查行動“突出了布魯塞爾幾個標誌性景點”在節日期間“面臨的嚴峻威脅”。

The two people were arrested on a mixture of charges including planning a terrorist attack, making terrorist threats and recruitment of terrorists.

被逮捕的2人面臨多項指控，包括策劃恐怖襲擊、製造恐襲威脅和招募恐怖分子。
