Belgian police have have killed two men in a shoot-out - foiling a major terror attack in the country, according to authorities. They died in Verviers during one of about 10 raids carried out against alleged Islamist extremists thought to have returned from fighting in the Syrian civil war. As police closed in, suspects opened fire and there was a fire fight for several minutes before the pair were killed. No officers or civilians were hurt, according to a prosecutor. Eric Van Der Sypt said: The suspects immediately and for several minutes opened fire with military weaponry and handguns on the special units of the federal police before they were neutralised.
