According to Belgian prosecutors, nine people were detained on Thursday in connection with the Paris attacks, seven of them as part of Bilal Hadfi's criminal case.

At least 129 people were killed and over 350 were injured in the attacks. Islamic State (ISIL) radicals claimed responsibility for the terrorist acts.

Following the attacks, Belgian police carried out a series of anti-terrorist operations detaining a number of people in Brussels, suspected of links to the Paris attacks
