A Brussels-based terror cell intended to launch a fresh strike in France, but attacked in the Belgian capital instead after being "surprised" by a quick-moving investigation, Belgian prosecutors said Sunday.
"The terrorist group initially had the intention to strike in France again," federal prosecutors said.
"Surprised by the speed of the progress in the ongoing investigation, they urgently took the decision to strike in Brussels."
