Suspect killed in Brussels knife attack

Belgian soldiers shot and killed a terrorist Friday evening in downtown Brussels after he attacked the troops with a knife. Spokeswoman Esther Natus of the federal prosecutor’s office said the man twice shouted “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” as he ran at the soldiers. “We do consider it a terror attack,” Natus said. She declined to identify the man or confirm whether he was known to police. Brussels Mayor Philippe Close said three soldiers were attacked and one was hospitalized.
