Paris attacks: Suspect Shot Dead in Police Shootout in Brussels

One suspect has been shot dead while two others remain on the run, after a shootout in the Belgian capital Brussels following an anti-terror raid connected to the Paris attacks.

Four police officers had been wounded in the raid, carried out by Belgian police with support from their French counterparts.

The report did not specify whether neutralised meant killed – although Belgian media has reported that a man was shot dead.

Belgian police continue to hunt for fugitive Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the November attacks which left 130 people dead.

Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the federal prosecutor, told AFP that ‘police were fired at’ during the raid in the southern Forest district.

‘It was linked to the Paris attacks investigation,’ he said.Three Belgian officers have been injured in the incident, Belga reports.

Eleven people have been arrested and charged in Belgium in connection with the Paris attacks. Eight are still in detention.

Salah Abdeslam and his associate Mohamed Abrini, both from the Brussels suburb of Molebeek, are still at large.
