Two People Killed In Belgian Anti-Terror Operation

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

Two people are dead after a raid by an anti-terrorism team in Verviers, Belgium.

The group had connected to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS and had been working on Paris-style terrorist attacks within Belgium.

VTM News reported that federal Belgian police were able to take one suspect into custody near a train station as part of the operation.

A senior Belgian counter-terrorism official says that the operation in Verviers is just one of several anti-terror raids currently taking place in the country.  The group reportedly had just returned from Syria where they had received ISIS training on carrying out terrorist attacks.

The attacks reportedly were planned in retaliation for coalition airstrikes against ISIS.

The official said under condition of anonymity that situations on Thursday with the group changed to the point Belgian forces had to stop surveillance and immediately carry out the raid.
