Belgian police are looking for a Palestinian man following media report he could plan an attack

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian authorities say they are “actively” searching for an asylum-seeker of Palestinian origin after media reported that he had threatened an unspecified attack. The Brussels prosecutor’s office said Wednesday it is aware of the threat mentioned in the media and added police forces are out looking for him. An Islamic extremist shot dead two Swedes and wounded a third only last week. Authorities said the Tunisian suspect died following a police operation trying to arrest him. Since the attack, the terror alert level in Belgium was raised to the second highest level. The police search comes on the eve of a two-day European Union summit in Brussels to discuss among other things the Israel-Hamas war.
