The operation, linked to investigations into November's terror attacks in Paris, involved both French and Belgian forces - though authorities have admitted this was a coincidence, as the raid was not expected to yield much in the way of evidence.

Prosecutors have confirmed that one suspect was killed in a second raid on the building, and said searchers were ongoing for any other suspects still on the loose.
