Just In: Bomb Alert In Brussels Shopping Mall As Police Arrest Terror Suspect 'Wearing An Explosive Belt'


A shopping centre in central Brussels has been evacuated and a terror suspect 'possibly wearing an explosive belt' has been arrested after a bomb alert.

Police have descended on the City2 retail centre in the heart of the Belgian capital and taped off surrounding roads.

Officers arrested a man at the scene before a bomb squad were called in amid reports the man was carrying explosives. 

The incident comes a week after anti-terrorism investigators were alerted to the possibility that small groups of ISIS extremists had left Syria for France and Belgium with plans to stage attacks - including at a shopping mall.
