Belgian police have wrapped up a major anti-terror operation in which two suspected Islamist militants who were alleged to be planning imminent attacks were shot dead, Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said Friday.

"Operations on the ground are now over. We are now exploiting the information" from the deadly raid in the town of Verviers and other searches around Belgium, he told France's iTele news channel.
