Turkish authorities arrested three people who have suspected ties to ISIS in last week's terror attacks in Paris.
 
Ahmad Dahmani, 26, was detained in a hotel in Turkey along with two other suspects. Dahmani is a Belgian national of Moroccan origin who is believed to have scouted target sites for the Paris attacks.
 
Syrian nationals Ahmet Tahir, 29, and Mohammed Verd, 23, were arrested after they traveled from Syria to meet Dahmani, CNN reports. The three were preparing to cross the Turkish-Syrian border.
 
Brussels was the home of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected organizer of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, and Belgium has filed charges of "participation in terrorist attacks and participation in the activities of a terrorist organization" against three suspects relating to the Paris attacks.Several weapons were found during a home search, but the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's office said no explosives or suicide belt was found.
 
The three suspected Islamic militants will remain in custody following a court appearance.
