Armed officers secure an area during the police operation in Brussels
A gunman linked to last year’s Paris attacks has been shot dead by police, while two others were on the run after a house raid in Brussels that went wrong, leaving four police officers injured.
Although police have yet to identify the body, they said it was not the fugitive terrorist Salah Abdeslam, 26, who fled to Brussels after failing to detonate his suicide belt during the Paris attacks last November. They gave no information on the likely identity of the fugitives.
“A body was found during the search of a house on Rue du Dries,” said Eric Van Der Sypt, spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor. “His identity is not yet known, but in any case, it is not Salah Abdeslam.”
The raid was part of a joint Belgian-French anti-terrorism operation that began at 2pm in the southern Brussels district of Forest. Armed police locked down a wide neighbourhood as soon as shooting broke out.
The house was identified as part of the police’s continuing investigation into the massacre of 130 people in the French capital on 13 November, for which Isis claimed responsibility and which were largely plotted in Brussels by Belgian and French nationals.
Most of the terrorists directly involved died at the time or were killed soon after, but Abdeslam became the subject of a massive European manhunt.
