The four suspects — three minors in their “late teens” and an adult man aged 18 — were arrested when police raided home addresses in Brussels, Ninove, Charleroi and Liege.
A spokesperson for the federal prosecutor’s office told the AFP news agency that the details of the alleged attack were deemed “worrying enough to intervene.”
“It’s not that they were planning something tomorrow, but still imminent enough to intervene,” spokesperson Eric Van Der Sypt said.
Police raided the suspects’ homes and retrieved mobile phones and laptops for further analysis. They did not recover any weapons or explosives.
