Two suspected jihadists have been killed in an anti-terror operation in eastern Belgium, officials say.
Prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said a third person had been arrested in the raid in Verviers, but no police or members of the public were harmed.
Mr Van der Sypt told reporters police had targeted a group returning from Syria who had been about to launch "large-scale" attacks.
Suspects had opened fire on police with assault weapons, he said.
"The suspects immediately and for several minutes opened fire with military weaponry and handguns on the special units of the federal police before they were neutralised," he said.
Anti-terror raids were also under way in the Brussels region, he added.
"We still expect a number of arrests," he said.

Belgian police tonight shot dead two suspected Islamic State jihadists believed to have returned to Europe to carry out terrorist atrocities.Shots and explosions were heard, including machine gun fire, as officers moved against an alleged cell in the eastern town of Verviers, which is some 70 miles from Brussels.
Officials said the targets were a jihadist cell who had recently returned from Syria with orders to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe. One Flemish paper was reporting they intended to attack a police station.
