Man killed in Belgian raid on suspected far-right extremists
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian prosecutors say a man was shot dead during anti-terror raids targeting a group of suspected right-wing extremists. The federal prosecutor’s office said a dozen searches were carried out in seven different municipalities as part of an investigation into “the preparation of a terrorist attack and the violation of the legislation on weapons.” The Antwerp prosecutor’s office said that a man was killed by a police bullet when federal police units raided his home. The office initially said that the man opened fire on the police, but later said an investigation would determine who fired first. Federal prosecutors said the searches in the Antwerp region resulted in the seizure of a large number of weapons and ammunition.
