Belgium has arrested two men suspected of links to the November 13 Paris attacks, in which 130 people were killed.

Federal prosecutors say the pair, Belgian national Zakaria J., born in 1986 and Moroccan national Mustafa E., born in 1981, were arrested during two house searches in the Brussels district of Molenbeek on Thursday (local time).

"Both were arrested due to their possible ties with different suspects in this case," they said in a statement.

"The Investigating Judge will decide later today upon their possible further detention."

No arms or explosives were found during the searches, it added.
