Anti-terrorism police in Belgium have detained two suspected members of a far-right group accused of plotting bomb attacks and inciting violence.
The pair, a man and a woman in their early 20s, were picked up after a series of raids on houses in Diepenbeek and Ostend, prosecutors said.
One house contained large quantities of Nazi memorabilia and flags, they added.
The allegations against the two include “recruiting people with the aim of committing terrorist crimes”.
They are also suspected of “preparing for the commission of terrorist acts”.
The Belgian raids were part of a Europe-wide operation against right-wing terrorism that also included raids in Croatia, Germany, Lithuania, Romania and Italy, according to the EU’s crime agency Europol.
In all, five people were apprehended and seven others interrogated across the different countries, it said.
The two people taken into custody by Belgian police have been identified as Daan C, born in 2000, and Kayley W, born in 2002.
