Two people killed and one arrested in anti-terror raid in Verviers against group suspected of planning “major” attack

Police in Belgium killed two men and arrested another on Thursday night during a counter-terrorism raid against a group suspected of planning a “major” attack.

The suspects immediately opened fire on police when special forces closed in on them near the railway station in the eastern city of Verviers, near the border with Germany, Eric Van der Sypt, a federal magistrate said.

He said that there was “no link at this stage to the Paris attacks” last week which left 17 people dead.

“The investigation started a few weeks ago before the attacks in Paris, I would like to stress,” Mr Van der Sypt said. “They [the suspects] all have Belgian nationality.”

However, he added: “This operation stopped a major terrorist attack from taking place. You could say a second potential Paris has been averted."

He added: "The possible attack could have taken place within a matter of hours."

Last night, according to a report in the Belgian media, the suspects planned to abduct and behead a prominent law enforcement official and post a video on the internet.

Police carried out searches in more than 10 properties in Brussels, Verviers and Halle-Vilvoorde as part of an investigation into extremists returning from Syria, authorities said.

“During the investigation we found that this group was about to commit a terrorist attack in Belgium,” a statement said. “When the search warrants were executed in Verviers the suspects immediately opened fire with automatic weapons on special police forces. They opened fire for several minutes before being neutralised. Two were killed and a third person who survived has been arrested.

A bit scared, yes but the media's acting like this was a big attack, like it actually scares me for the reaction that everybody will have when something worse will happen...

+ why Belgium though?
I really don't understand that, as far as I know my country's not THAT bad.

Brussel being the "Capital" of Europe and whatnot.

They apparently wanted to kill police agents and kidnap a prominent Belgian and kill him as well.

It's getting a bit crazy really, I live in Antwerp and on my way to school I passed 3 police cars and 4 police officers on foot.. It's a 10 minute walk
