Mohamed Abrini, a key suspect in the November 13 Paris attacks, was arrested in the Anderlecht district of Brussels, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office confirmed Friday.france24 Abrini was one of two people arrested, said Eric Van der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office. He identified the other as Osama Krayem. Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian-Moroccan, had been among Europe's most wanted and was considered "armed and dangerous." "For French investigators, this can be very big," CNN's Nic Robertson said. The arrest would mean authorities now have captured two people suspected of playing a direct role in the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people, including Salah Abdeslam, the alleged eighth planned attacker. Abdeslam was arrested last month in Belgium shortly before the Brussels attacks.
"As an investigator, this gives you a much stronger position to be in to get to the truth ... to run other terrorists on the run down," Robertson said. "And also to understand precisely what happened in Paris." Belgian authorities announced the arrest Friday of Mohamed Abrini, suspected of driving those involved in the Paris terror attacks. Abrini one of Europe's most wanted. According to a European police cooperative known as ENFAST, video showed Abrini with Abdeslam on November 11, two days before the massacre in the French capital. The same Renault Clio that Abrini drove was used in those attacks, ENFAST reports. Abdeslam told authorities he drove a car of that same make and model to the Stade de France -- where suicide bombers detonated explosives outside a soccer game -- and abandoned it.
