The main suspect in the investigation into the Brussels bombings has also been charged with participation in the Paris attacks which took place four months earlier, Belgian federal prosecutors said, on Wednesday.

Osama Krayem, who was arrested in Brussels earlier this month, might have been present in different safehouses used by the militant attackers, such as a suspected bomb factory raided in December, prosecutors said.

He has been charged with terrorist murder and participation in the activities of a terrorist group.
