At least 27 terror suspects
have been arrested in Europe in the past 24 hours, including two
Belgian nationals who were trying to flee to Italy, sources said
Friday.
French police stopped the pair in the Chambery region.
The suspects were fleeing an anti-terrorist sweep in
Belgium, where 13 people were arrested in operations in various
parts of the country.
In Paris, 12 people were arrested in the suburbs of the
capital.
Among them is the alleged accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly,
who gunned five people down in France last week, including a
policewoman.
The accomplice allegedly provided Coulibaly with
"significant logistical support" and a car. Investigators
tracked him down through DNA left behind in the vehicle, sources
said.
In Berlin, two people were arrested including Ismet D., the
alleged ringleader of a jihadi recruiting organization targeting
Russians and Turks.
