Belgian police have arrested six people in Brussels as a major investigation continues into attacks that claimed 31 lives in the city on Tuesday, the BBC reported.    The arrests were made in the Schaerbeek district. There is no word yet on the identities of the suspects or their possible connection to the attacks.

    Separately, in France, a suspect who was plotting an attack has been arrested near Paris, officials said. The Brussels bombings have been linked to last November's Paris attacks. The arrests in Schaerbeek were made late on Thursday, and followed house-to-house searches in the area. 

    Also on Thursday evening, French police launched an anti-terror operation in Argenteuil, north-west of Paris, following the arrest hours earlier of a man suspected of planning an attack.
