One suspect killed in Brussels terror raid: Belgian media

Brussels (AFP) - Police shot dead one suspect on Tuesday during a major Belgian-French anti-terror operation in Brussels linked to the Paris attacks, Belgian media reports said, citing the federal prosecutor's office.

The prosecutor's office could not be immediately reached to confirm the reports but a spokesman told AFP earlier that four police were wounded in the massive security operation in the south of the city.

of the idiots that get killed or arrested in these raids or attacks. I want the message to go out that if you die this way, you will be forgotten. Your name will die with you. You won't be a martyr.
