Six Pakistani origin British nationals were arrested in Belgium ­yesterday (Saturday) after they were spotted in three old ­ambulances near Brussels while the city was in a fullscale terror alert.

Last night the six Pakistani-born UK nationals were being ­questioned while officers ­continued to search the ­ambulances – two Fiats and a Mercedes with British plates.

Brussels remained in lockdown following an intelligence warning of an imminent Paris-style attack on the Belgian capital.

One of the men held is ­understood to be known to British ­police who are assisting Belgium authorities.
