(AP) A lone assailant killed one police officer and wounded another Thursday in a stabbing attack that two Belgian judicial officials said was suspected to be terrorism-linked. The suspect was shot and taken to a hospital.
Eric Van der Sypt, from the federal prosecutor’s office, told the Associated Press the suspect was wounded by another police [officer] after the stabbing.
Van der Sypt added that investigators suspected the attack took place in a “terrorist context.” The prosecutor’s office told AP it took over the case because there is “a suspicion of a terror attack.”
“One of our patrols was attacked by a man armed with a knife,” police said, quoted by the newspaper Le Soir.
