Belgium police hold 17 in 'plot'

Seventeen people have been arrested in Belgium for allegedly planning
attacks aimed at "destabilising" the country's institutions, Belgian
prosecutors say.

Police raided army barracks and soldiers' homes across the country.

The raids were part of a two-year investigation into extreme-right
activists believed to be operating inside the military.

Police seized weapons and a home-made bomb during raids in East
Flanders, Limburg and Antwerp.

Searches were carried out simultaneously in five barracks and at 18
private addresses in a wide-ranging operation, Belgian radio reported.

Those arrested were mainly "soldiers and people with an extreme-right
ideology who clearly express themselves through racism, xenophobia,
Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism and neo-Nazism", the federal
prosecutor's office said in a statement.

The main suspect is a serving military man "who intended to put
terrorist ideas into practice," it added.

Belgium has seen an increase in apparently race-related crimes and the
country's far-right, anti-immigrant Vlaams Belang party (or Flemish
Interest) has enjoyed increasing electoral support.
