ISIL flag found next to body of suspect killed in Brussels shootout



BRUSSELS: -- Belgium’s federal prosecutor told reporters that an Islamic State (ISIL) flag was found next to the body of a suspect shot dead during an anti-terror operation on Tuesday.

Thierry Werts described the suspect as a man of Algerian origin who is known to police for a previous theft offence.

Also found next to his body was what Werts said was a Salafist manual. That’s the ideology to which ISIL subscribes.

Police were fired on as they carried out a routine search in the Forest area of Brussels. Four officers were wounded in the shootout.

The joint Belgian-French operation in Brussels is linked to November’s Paris attacks, and is ongoing.

Two suspects are still being hunted by police, said Werts.

Good job terrorist killed, but I wonder how many like him simply walked into Europe during the time it took to carry out this operation.

I'd like to know who is making these flags ? Follow the flags and you bag also these crazy people. Should be easy to track flags coming

into other Western countries.

Bad job; four policeman shot, two terrorist escaped and only one killed. Must of been the "Keystone Division".

Best place one can think of really for an ISIL flag, i.e., right next to the corpse of one of 'em.

If they have, good work.

He can look forward to a few uncomfortable, sleepless nights squealing like a schoolgirl.
