Belgium will spend an extra 400 million euros ($427 million) on the fight against extremist violence, Prime Minister Charles Michel said Thursday, with more funds to fight hate speech, track potential terrorists and boost its intelligence services. Michel said in a speech to the federal parliament that Belgium would also introduce a series of security measures in response to the Paris attacks, including jailing returning Syria fighters and closing down unrecognized places of worship. Belgium has been at the center of investigations into last week's attacks in the French capital after it emerged that at least two of the attackers had been living in the country.
