nine others were either killed now it turns out not only was he able to slip away in the chaos of those paris attacks, he's able to cross the border and make his way back to his oldneighborhood in brussels, five blocks from where he grew up. and that is where anti-terror police closed in.aiding an earlier apartment on tuesday. that led them to this raid on y moved in, it appeared that he tried to run away. he was shot in the leg. so this man, an interunt that stretched all the way to syria, ended up just a few blocks away from his house. he was arrested.his alert that there were two other people they were searching for in connection with this. one of those being the alleged he is thought to have had his

devices, najim ui. so the tension that's been going on since friday,ously an increased police presence throughout those neighborhoods. there was at the airport. we know that from people that we've spoken to. increased police presence there. and that's why the concern is now that if this was the bombmaker, and if few explosions, obviously investigators are pointing in that direction. >> charlie, we're learning now that they've increased security in belgium to the maximum level. i can only imagine witharch for the bombmaker since friday and the information that we received, that there were other attacks possibly in the must have been particularly tense in belgium. and security must have been particularly high. >> reporter: it was. and it is.ts of these areas,

that have been raided, you see anti-terror police on the streets. i mean, they're actually they're heavily armed police in and around, you know, public areas in brussels, in and around those neighborhoods. and of course, there would have been a at the airport. but now, as you said, they cranked it to the highest level. things have been tense, of course, since the arrest on and we spoke to prosecutors yesterday, the french and belgian prosecutors, and we asked how many more are out there? and they said, we simply don't the french prosecutor said they had something like 250 active cases. and there are 750 or so people that have either been in jail or on the loose, and they're searching for them. that just gives you a scale of the level of threat that they are facing, and these are specific isis and in belgium which, of course, coordinating their efforts in

france, but in addition to that,y're dealing with a threat that causes both their countries, once again -- >> all right.t is a major problem. >> all right, charlie, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. i know you're heading to the . we have a lot more news coming up. this is the "cbs morning news." incredible bladder prot an incredible double your money back guarantee. always discreet is for bladder leaks and it's drier than poise. try it, love it double your money back. always discreet. rning on sound of water running sound of water running
