BELGIUM-ATTACKS-ISLAMISTS-TROOPS
(From L) Belgium's Chief of Defence General Gerard Van Caelenberge, Minister of Defence and Public Service Steven Vandeput and Lieutenant-general Marc Compernol, commander of the Belgian Land Component,
give a press briefing on January 17, 2015 in Brussels concerning the military deployment in the main Belgian cities after security forces smashed a suspected Islamist "terrorist" cell planning to kill police officers. Up to 300 soldiers will be progressively deployed in the capital Brussels and the northern city of Antwerp, which has a large Jewish population, Prime Minister Charles Michel's office said in a statement. Security forces early on January 16 killed two suspected Islamists in a huge raid in the eastern city of Verviers on an alleged jihadist cell planning to attack police in the country, and police arrested 13 people during a series of following raids across Belgium.
