ONE of the two suspects arrested Friday night in Belgium is indicted for terrorist activities Saturday afternoon, while the other has been released, according to local media reports.

The prosecution announced that Nourredine H, 33, was indicted and placed under arrest for attempted terrorist murder and participation in a terrorist group. His brother Hamza H, meanwhile, was released after the hearing, according to Belgian newspaper Le Soir.

The two brothers were arrested during a major anti-terrorist operation in Belgium's Mons region and the city of Liege on Friday.

No weapon or any explosives were found during the operation.

According to Belgian broadcaster RTBF, Nourredine had recently traveled extensively in Europe and had had numerous contacts with France. RTBF said it appeared that he was seeking "material," including weapons.

Belgium is still on level 3, the second highest, security alert since the city was rocked by bombings on March 22 that killed 32 people.
