Belgium will request the extradition of a suspect arrested in Greece who could be linked to a jihadist cell smashed by Belgian security forces earlier this week, federal prosecutors said Sunday. "Out of two suspects arrested, there is one who could be linked" to the group, the prosecutors' spokesman Thierry Werts told RTL television. "There are sufficient elements to seek his extradition," he said. Belgian media have named Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a 27-year-old Belgian of Moroccan descent, as the presumed mastermind of the cell, which was dismantled in an anti-terror raid in eastern Belgium on Thursday.
