Belgian police have arrested two underage people on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack, authorities said on Thursday.

The two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were arrested on Oct. 31 for “attempted terrorist assassination and participation in a terrorist organization” following raids in the cities of Eupen and La Calamine, the office of Belgium’s federal prosecutor said.
