There are some reports he has been arrested. I want to say that nbc news has not been able to independently confirm those reports. Now, raids are being carried out all across brussels. One of them led to the discovery of what investigators are calling a bomb making factory. The attacks are inspiring a show of solidarity around the world. Iconic landmarks across europe and the u. S.
