Belgian police appear to have arrested two of Europe's most wanted men.

Turks and Moroccans immigrated to Belgium around the same time in the 1970s. And yet, when it comes radicalization, the two groups couldn't be more different. Scores of Moroccans have left for Syria, and there is not one recorded Turk who has followed the same path.

A key suspect in the Nov. 13, 2015, terrorist attacks in Paris has been captured alive in Brussels. Officials say other anti-terrorism operations are underway in Belgium.

Recent terrorist attacks in Northern Africa suggest al-Qaida's arm in the region, known as al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb or AQIM, is making a comeback. Analysts say al-Qaida's competition with ISIS in the region has driven it to act and, in particular, the two groups are wrestling over what is considered a terrorist crown jewel in the region: Libya.
