Suspect Found With IS flag, AK-47 Brussels

The suspect gunned down in a Brussels shoot-out with police was found with an Islamic State flag, a Kalashnikov assault rifle and a book of Salafist literature next to his body, Belgian prosecutors said on Thursday.
Thierry Werts, a spokesman for anti-terror prosecutors, told a press conference that the man had been identified as 35-year-old Belkaid Mohamed, an Algerian national who was illegally in Belgium.
“Next to the body was a Kalashnikov, a book on Salafism and an Islamic State flag,” Werts said.
Mohamed was “neutralised” by police snipers on Tuesday in response to heavy gunfire from the building where police on a routine search had stumbled upon him.
