Specialized police units stormed a building in the Schaerbeek section of Brussels Friday on the hunt for people connected to Tuesday's bombings at the Brussels airport and a subway station. Three people were reportedly detained, with two of them shot in the leg. Schaerbeek has multiple connections to both the Paris and Brussels attacks and was also the site of a major raid Thursday night, which resulted in six arrests.
Meanwhile, German authorities announced Friday that a man arrested during a routine identity check at a train station in Giessen, Germany, Thursday may have links to the Brussels attackers. And in France, police reportedly foiled a major terror attack with the arrest of a suspect named Reda Kriket on Thursday outside of Paris.
