BRUSSELS (AFP) - Police found an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag next to the body of an Algerian killed during a major anti-terror raid in Brussels, prosecutors said on Wednesday (March 16), as investigators raced to track down two suspected extremists who escaped.
The man had been identified as Mohamed Belkaid, 35, an Algerian national who was illegally in Belgium, the federal prosecutor said a day after the chaotic shootout.
Two suspects were still at large after the gunbattle, which erupted as Belgian and French police searched a property in connection with the November Paris massacre claimed by IS in which 130 people died.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said the investigation was ongoing and that the national security council would meet later to discuss the country's terror alert level after the incident.
