Belgian police detained two men for questioning after fresh anti-terror raids overnight, the federal prosecutor's office said today amid reports of a planned attack on a Euro 2016 fanzone.

"One man was arrested in (the eastern town of) Verviers and another man in Tournai," close to the French border, a spokesman said.

"It is too soon to talk about a terror attack," he added.
