Overview

• Police raids in Antwerp on Thursday led to three arrests in a terrorism probe; one suspect was released and two are due before a judge.
• Searches uncovered a non-operational homemade explosive, a bag of steel balls, and a 3D printer believed to be intended for drone parts.
• Belgian officials identified Prime Minister Bart De Wever as a target, while Flemish broadcasters reported Geert Wilders and Antwerp mayor Els van Doesburg may also have been listed.
• Wilders said the Dutch NCTV informed him he had been named as a target, and he canceled appearances and paused his campaign despite the agency foreseeing no residual threat.
• Prosecutors describe the case as jihadist-inspired, with cross-border security services reviewing potential targets and continuing their investigations.
