Belgium Verviers plot 'aimed to kill police'

A suspected jihadist group targeted in a major anti-terror raid on Thursday had been planning to kill policemen, Belgian prosecutors say.

The planned attacks were imminent, they said, adding that two suspects shot dead in Verviers during the raids were still being identified.

Thirteen suspects have been arrested, while two more were arrested in France.
