Brussels: Police found an ISIS flag next to the body of an Algerian killed during a major anti-terror raid in Brussels, prosecutors said yesterday, as investigators raced to track down two suspected extremists who had escaped.

The man had been identified as Mohamed Belkaid (35), an Algerian national who was staying illegally in Belgium, the federal prosecutor said a day after the chaotic shootout. Two suspects were still at large after the gun battle, which erupted as Belgian and French police searched a property in connection with the November Paris massacre.
Prosecutors said at least two suspects fired on police as the door was opened during a search of the property in the quiet Forest district, wounding three officers including a French policewoman.
A series of gun battles then erupted, wounding a fourth officer in the head, and a man was &ldquo;neutralised by a sniper of the special forces when he tried to open fire from the window of the flat&rdquo;, spokesman Thierry Werts said. &ldquo;Next to his body was a Kalashnikov, a book on Salafism and an Islamic State flag,&rdquo; Werts said.
