A joint French-Belgian police raid in a Brussels suburb resulted in a shootout that left one suspect dead and four officers wounded. Investigators discovered an Islamic State flag and a cache of ammunition, suggesting the location was a base for planning further attacks. The event caused a lockdown in the southern district of Foray as police hunted for two additional suspects linked to the November Paris attacks.
European Anti-Terror Raids and Belgian Military Deployment
Authorities across Belgium, France, and Germany conducted massive anti-terror raids, arresting over 20 individuals. Belgian troops were deployed to the streets of Brussels and Antwerp for the first time in 35 years to provide "static defense" for sensitive sites like the European Commission and synagogues. Police continue to search for Abdelhamid Abaoud, a suspected cell leader believed to be in Greece.
