The Belgian government is asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of Salah Abdeslam to call an official hotline and is also asking people to be aware of suspicious packages or behaviour.
Abdeslam, a Brussels resident, whose brother Brahim blew himself up at a Paris bar, is believed to be in Belgium and is the subject of a huge manhunt. Both grew up in the poor Molenbeek district of Brussels, where a cache of weapons was found yesterday, before going to join the Islamic State group in Syria.
A suspect arrested in Belgium on Thursday has been charged with terrorist offences in connection with the Paris attacks. His identity has not been revealed.

The so-called Islamic State and Saudi Arabia - in its struggle against terrorism, the West wages war on one, but shakes hands with the other, Kamel Daoud writes in the New York Times.
“This is a mechanism of denial, and denial has a price: Preserving the famous strategic alliance with Saudi Arabia at the risk of forgetting that the kingdom also relies on an alliance with a religious clergy that produces, legitimises, spreads, preaches and defends Wahhabism, the ultra-puritanical form of Islam that Daesh (Islamic State) feeds on.”
I wonder what those chemicals were...could be ingredients for suicide vests...or ingredients for a poor mans chemical weapon. Worrisome.
