Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian militant of Moroccan origin, 28, is believed to have orchestrated last week`s coordinated bombings and shootings that killed 129 people. He was among those later killed in a police raid in a Paris suburb.
Yassine was arrested last month after his plane landed in Agadir and has been held in custody since, a Moroccan security source, who declined to be named, told Reuters. "He has been held for about one month now," the source said.
It was unclear if Abdelhamid`s younger brother has ties with his militant cell in Europe. The source declined to give further details on the arrest.
