A main suspect in the investigation into the Brussels bombings has been charged with participating in last November's Paris attacks.

Belgian federal prosecutors say Osama Krayem might have been present at different safe houses used by the militant attackers, such as a suspected bomb factory raided in December.

Krayem was arrested in Brussels earlier this month and has now been charged with terrorist murder and participation in the activities of a terrorist group.

The Brussels bombings claimed the lives of 32 victims in March, while 130 died in November's attacks in Paris.
