Two plain-clothed police officers in Brussels were stabbed and another attacked in a suspected terror attack; the suspect, an ex-army Belgian citizen named Hicham D, was shot whilst trying to escape and is now in custody. A former Belgian soldier stabbed two police officers in an attack authorities are treating as terrorism, Belgian officials said Wednesday. The attack happened at around 10.30pm on Tuesday night when two men armed with knives approached the station where they had been picked up by police. Belgium has been on high alert ever since the bombing in March at the city's airport and metro station, which killed 32 people and was claimed by IS.
