Belgium foils al-Qaeda jailbreak

Belgium foils al-Qaeda jailbreak

Trabelsi said he had met Bin Laden
Fourteen people have been arrested in Belgium after authorities foiled a plot to free an al-Qaeda member arrested in September 2001, officials say.
The suspects, detained in police raids, were described as Islamic militants.

They were seeking to free Tunisian Nizar Trabelsi, jailed in Belgium for planning to attack US targets.

An official said the plot involved explosives and that security was being stepped up in the capital over fears of a "possible attack".

Belgium hosts the main European Union institutions and Nato headquarters, as well as a raft of multi-national companies.
