		</div><p>Four people have been detained in a series of raids in Brussels linked to the failed bombing at a railway station this week by a man shouting &#8220;Allahu akbar&#8221;, Belgian authorities said.</p>
<p>The four were picked up during searches in the Molenbeek neighbourhood, as well as in Anderlecht and Koekelberg, the federal prosecutor&#8217;s office said. The attacker in Tuesday&#8217;s violence at Brussels Central Station was a 36-year-old Moroccan national also living in Molenbeek, but he was not known to authorities for being involved in extremist activities.</p>
<p>Many of the suspects linked to attacks in Brussels and in Paris in November 2015 lived in or passed through the Molenbeek neighbourhood. Prosecutors said in a statement that the four suspects allegedly linked to the latest incident in Brussels were &#8220;taken in for thorough questioning&#8221; and that an investigating judge would decide whether to keep them in custody.</p>
<p>Authorities did not say whether anything had been seized in the raids, and declined to provide further details. The raids are among several launched since Tuesday&#8217;s attempted attack at Brussels Central Station in which the man blew up a device that did not fully detonate. He was then fatally shot by soldiers after charging at them while shouting &#8220;Allahu akbar&#8221;, the Arabic phrase for &#8220;God is great&#8221;. No-one else was hurt.</p>
<p>Belgium has been on high alert since suicide bombers killed 32 people at the Brussels airport and a subway station last year. Authorities said the quick shooting of the attacker averted fatalities.<br />
He had been trying to detonate a larger nail bomb. &#8220;It was clear he wanted to cause much more damage than what happened,&#8221; federal prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bag exploded twice, but it could have been a lot worse.&#8221;</p>
