A chilling new image has emerged showing the aftermath of a police raid which killed two members of a Belgian terror cell, who planned to behead a policeman in the street in ‘a second Paris’ attack.
The suspected Jihadists, who were gunned down by armed officers in Verviers overnight, were inspired by the murder of fusilier Lee Rigby two years ago, the lead investigator has revealed. A third was overpowered after being wounded during the raid.
Federal prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt, who coordinated a series of raids on 12 alleged terrorist hideouts across Belgium, told Mail Online: ‘Their plan was to launch attacks similar to that in London when a soldier was killed. They wanted to kill policeman on the street .’
In total, 13 people were arrested in last night’s raids, according to Mr Van der Sypt, and five people have since been charged with terror offences.
The radical Islamic group also wanted to film the horrific murder and then circulate the footage online, bringing the brutality of ISIS to the West, police sources said.
The group was reportedly equipped with Belgian police uniforms, four Kalashnikov machine guns, handguns and explosives. Another part of their twisted plot included taking a number of hostages by seizing a bus, it was reported by Belgium’s RTL broadcaster.
