(35 minutes later) | |
Shots have been fired at police during a counter-terrorism raid in the Belgian capital, Brussels. | |
The incident took place in the southern suburb of Forest, an official told Reuters news agency, adding that an officer had been lightly injured. | |
A prosecutor said the raid was linked to the Paris attacks which killed 130 people last November. | |
Belgian police have been trying to track down Islamic State militants involved in the gun and bomb attacks. | |
Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the federal prosecutor, told AFP news agency that "police were fired at" during the raid on Tuesday afternoon. | |
He added that the raid was "linked to the Paris attacks investigation". | |
A major police operation is now under way in the area, with at least two suspects reportedly on the run. | |
