About 300 workers and contractors have been released days after ISIS-linked militants took over a cement factory in Syria, the ISIS-affiliated Amaq news agency reported Friday.
The report has not been officially corroborated.
The militants had taken over the massive plant near Damascus on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Amaq reported that workers were released after being investigated and found to be Muslim and not members of the Syrian regime. But 20 people believed to be part of regime militias were still in custody, and four others were executed for being from the Druze sect, according to the report.
Is the person arrested Friday in Anderlecht, Belgium, the same man seen in a surveillance video wearing a hat at the Brussels Airport moments before last month's deadly terror attack?
Investigators are trying to determine whether Mohamed Abrini is connected to the airport attack. They also are trying to determine whether a man arrested separately was part of the second attack -- at a Brussels metro station -- an hour later.
Abrini was arrested with two others, Belgian federal prosecutor's spokesman Thierry Werts told reporters. Osama Krayem and another person were taken into custody in another police operation, this one in the Belgian capital.
Eric Van der Sypt, another prosecutor's spokesman, didn't identify the other people arrested or give any other details.
Bruce Springsteen is the latest to shun North Carolina over its so-called "bathroom law."
The legendary musician announced Friday that his upcoming show in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been canceled in "solidarity" with those protesting the measure.
Springsteen and his E Street Band were slated to perform at the Greensboro Coliseum this Sunday. The roughly 15,000 ticketholders will all be eligible for a refund.
The newly enacted law requires individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate, and has drawn fierce criticism for excluding legal protections from gay and transgender people.
