Belgian
security forces have carried out multiple searches across the country,
arresting 16 suspects believed to have ties to the deadly attacks in Paris.
Police targeted 19
locations overnight in the capital Brussels and in the city of Charleroi, 75km
to the south, the federal prosecutor's office said on Sunday.
"An investigative
judge will decide today about their further detention," Eric Van Der
Sypt, the prosecutor, said.
He said
no explosives or arms were found.
Salah Abdesalam, a
Belgian national believed to have been involved in the November 13 attacks in
the French capital and currently in hiding in the Brussels area, was not
arrested in the operation.
