A French former jihadist in Syria has been arrested over the fatal shooting of three people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels on May 24.<\/p>\n

The arrest<\/a>, announced by French and Belgian prosecutors during simultaneous news conferences in Paris and Brussels on June 1, confirms the worst fears about the security threat posed by battle-hardened European jihadists returning from the fighting in Syria.<\/p>\n

He was a passenger on an overnight bus that was travelling from Amsterdam to Marseille via Brussels.<\/p>\n
