TERROR suspect Salah Abdeslam has told Belgian investigators he was planning to "restart something" from Brussels.
Belgian foreign minister Didier Reynders said that Abdeslam told police "he was ready to restart something from Brussels, and it's maybe the reality".
Mr Reynders said authorities are taking the claim seriously because "we found a lot of weapons, heavy weapons in the first investigations, and we have seen a new network of people around him in Brussels".
Abdeslam, captured on Friday in a police raid in Brussels, was charged on Saturday with "terrorist murder" by Belgian authorities. He is a top suspect in the November 13 attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead.
Meanwhile, the Belgian lawyer of Salah Abdeslam says he plans legal action against a French prosecutor for breaching the confidentiality of the investigation into the deadly rampage.
Sven Mary told Belgian public broadcaster RTBF that part of the press conference given on Saturday by Paris prosecutor Francois Molins "is a violation.
"It's a fault, and I cannot let it go unchallenged."
Mr Molins said Abdeslam told Belgian officials he "wanted to blow himself up at the Stade de France" as a suicide bomber on November 13 but backed out at the last minute.
France is seeking Abdeslam's extradition for trial there, but Mr Mary said he would fight any attempt to hand over his client.
