Swedish national Osama Krayem, charged in connection with the Brussels bombings, has also been charged over the Paris attacks, Belgian media has reported citing prosecutors.

Krayem, 23, was charged on April 9 with "terrorist murders" over last month's suicide blasts in the Belgian capital, but the new charges reflect growing links between the attackers and those who carried out November's jihadist carnage in Paris.

"His fingerprints were found at several hideouts used during preparations for these attacks," Flemmish television station VRT reported yesterday.

Belga news agency confirmed the fresh charges, citing prosecutors.

The prosecution service and Krayem's lawyers were not immediately reachable by AFP, but prosecutors are due to hold a news conference today.
