Brussels: Armed police launched an intense new raid in Brussels in the wake of the terror attacks, in the Schaerbeek area of the capital, Belgian media reported Friday, a day after six suspects were arrested over the carnage.
An explosion was heard at the start of the operation, Belga news agency reported, while the RTBF broadcaster said a man had been 'neutralised', but there was no immediate confirmation by officials.

During a series of raids in Schaerbeek on Tuesday night police found 15 kilos of high explosive, bomb-making chemicals and an Islamic State group flag.
