(Euronews) A 44-year-old Tunisian man suspected of complicity with the perpetrator of the attack in Brussels on 16 October was charged with “murder in a terrorist context” and imprisoned on Thursday, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office announced.
The man arrested on Wednesday was suspected of being involved in supplying the automatic rifle used by the attacker, Abdesalem Lassoued.
Lassoued, a 45-year-old radicalised Tunisian who was illegally resident in Belgium, was shot dead by Belgian police the day after the attack that killed two Swedes.
His alleged accomplice, now in prison, identified as “Lamjed K., born on 17/08/1979, of Tunisian nationality,” was arrested on Wednesday in Tervuren, south of Brussels.
