Belgian police on Tuesday arrested ten people in the Brussels area allegedly part of a network recruiting people to fight with ISIS in Syria, AFP reports.
The ten were arrested during raids in Molenbeek and others areas of the Belgian capital but the case is not linked to the deadly November Paris attacks, the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Several of those involved in the Paris killings came from Molenbeek.
"The raids were carried out as part of an investigation into a recruitment network linked to Islamic State [ISIS]. The investigation helped determine that several people had traveled to Syria to join Islamic State," it said.
The raids were ordered by a counter-terrorism judge in the eastern city of Liege who will decide later in the day whether to continue holding them, the statement said.
