Another bomb and an Islamic State flag found in Brussels raid

Belgian police have found a bomb and an Islamic State flag during a search of a Brussels apartment carried out hours after deadly attacks. 

"The searches that took place in the Schaerbeek (district) found an explosive device containing among other things nails," the federal prosecutor said in a statement.

The district is on the eastern side of Brussels and not next to the Molenbeek district which has thus far been the centre of anti-militant raids. 

"Investigators also discovered chemicals and a flag of the Islamic State," the federal prosecutor added.
