Belgian Counter-Terrorism Cops Kill Two Suspected Terrorists, Forestalling What They Call an "Imminent" Attack

The entire world braces for the "Nightmare Scenario" -- anti-Muslim backlash and curtailment of immigration from Islamic countries.

Counter-terror police, in a series of raids, rounded up suspects they believed were intent on launching terror operations in Belgium, officials said.

At least two suspects died during the raids, and another was injured...

There are actually counter-terrorism operations going on in four cities: Verviers, Brussles, Molenbeek, and Vilvorde.

The terrorists are reportedly under the direction of ISIS.

A Belgian prosecutor said that the planned terrorist attacks would have been on "a grand scale," and said further that "another Paris" had been averted.

Earlier this week, police arrested an arms dealer alleged to be linked to the sale of weapons sold weapons used in the Paris terrorist attacks. Neetin Farasula, from Charleroi in French-speaking southern Belgium, is thought to have been involved in negotiating the sale of guns to Amedy Coulibaly.

Video of the assault -- well, mostly darkness and the report of machine-guns -- below.

Update: More video added.
