Belgium charged suspects in the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, continuing to chip away at a jihadist network operating out of safe houses in Brussels.

Prosecutors on Saturday charged Mohamed Abrini in connection with the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris and a man identified as Osama K. as an accomplice in last month’s Brussels subway bombing. Both were arrested in Brussels on Friday.
