Accused stabbing assailant warned he would kill an officer

A lone assailant killed one police officer and injured another yesterday in a stabbing attack that two Belgian judicial officials said was suspected to be terrorismlinked. The suspect was shot and taken to a hospital. Eric Van der Sypt, from the federal prosecutor’s office, said the suspect was wounded by other police officers after the stabbing. Van der Sypt added that investigators suspected the attack took place in a ‘‘terrorist context’’. The prosecutor’s office said it took over the case because there is ‘‘a suspicion of a terror attack’’. Het Laatste Nieuws daily reported that the suspect had gone to a police station earlier yesterday morning warning he would kill an officer.
