Taxi driver tip sparks raid
A break in the investigation may have come from a taxi driver who took the suspects to the airport.
The
driver contacted authorities after seeing surveillance footage and gave
them the address where he picked the men up, according to two U.S.
officials briefed on the investigation.
That information prompted authorities to raid a residence after the attacks, the officials said.
Investigators
found a nail bomb, chemical products and an ISIS flag during a house
search in the northeast Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek, Belgium's
federal prosecutor said in a statement.
Hours later, they were still combing through the building for evidence.
Security was high. At one point, a helicopter hovered overhead, carrying a sniper with a weapon trained on the building.
As
masked, armed officers stood guard outside the building, the burst of
camera flashes inside could be seen from the street below. Officers left
the building carrying bags of evidence they loaded onto vehicles.
