The terrorists behind the Brussels bombings initially had planned to strike France, Belgium’s prosecutor said Sunday.
The revelation came as the prosecutor formally charged Mohamed Abrini with “terrorist murders” and participation in a terror group with regard to the March 22 attacks in the Belgian capital.
Abrini was initially sought, arrested and charged in relation to the November 2015 terror spree in Paris, which left 130 people dead.
However, Belgium’s prosecutor said Saturday that Abrini had confessed to being present for the bombings in Zavantem Airport last month.
In announcing the formal Brussels-related charges against Abrini, the prosecutor further underscored the links between the Paris and Brussels attacks.
