Anti-terrorism police in Belgium have detained two suspected members of a far-right group accused of plotting bomb attacks and inciting violence.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

One house contained large quantities of Nazi memorabilia and flags, they added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The allegations against the two include “recruiting people with the aim of committing terrorist crimes”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They are also suspected of “preparing for the commission of terrorist acts”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In all,\u00a0five people were apprehended and seven others interrogated<\/a>\u00a0across the different countries, it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The two people taken into custody by Belgian police have been identified as Daan C, born in 2000, and Kayley W, born in 2002.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Daan C was arrested pending further investigation, while Kayley W was released after questioning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Both persons are suspected of participating in the activities of a terrorist group, with Daan C also as a leader,” said a statement from the federal prosecutor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“There are indications that the suspects were active on several encrypted extreme-right platforms, urging people to commit terrorist acts, recruiting new members and sharing information on how to use 3D-printed firearms,” the statement went on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“They were also found in possession of materials that could be used to produce home-made bombs and petrol bombs.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In addition, prosecutors said some members of the online groups had written a manifesto and there were indications they had weapons at their disposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Despite the young age of some of the suspects, indicators showed that there was an increased risk that some of them would take action soon,” Europol said.<\/p>\n
