(VRT) A further arrest has been made as part of the investigation into Abdessalem Lassoued, the Tunisian failed asylum seeker, who shot dead two Swedish football supporters last week, in Brussels. A suspect, whose home was raided last week, has been questioned and detained. Prosecutors want to find out whether the man was possibly involved in the purchase of the weapon Abdessalem Lassoued used in the attack.
The perpetrator of last week’s attack used an American AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. An investigation into how Lassoued could get hold of such a weapon is currently ongoing, and investigators are now looking into whether the man detained this morning may be linked to that weapon.
