Mohamed Abrini, a key suspect in the November 13 Paris attacks, was arrested in the Anderlecht district of Brussels, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office confirmed Friday.france24 Abrini was one of two people arrested, said Eric Van der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office. He identified the other as Osama Krayem. Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian-Moroccan, had been among Europe's most wanted and was considered "armed and dangerous." "For French investigators, this can be very big," CNN's Nic Robertson said. The arrest would mean authorities now have captured two people suspected of playing a direct role in the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people, including Salah Abdeslam, the alleged eighth planned attacker. Abdeslam was arrested last month in Belgium shortly before the Brussels attacks. a
