There is no such thing as one type of exercise "targeting" a certain area of fat over another. There is no such thing as "spot reduction". You operate at a caloric deficit and you will lose fat, non-preferentially.

The best way to lose belly fat is the same as all the other fat on your body; operate at a caloric deficit.
The question is whether or not high intensity intervals burn more calories than moderate intensity running.
