Brussels knifeman shot after 'terrorist' attack on soldiers

BRUSSELS: A knife-wielding man was shot dead on Friday after wounding a soldier in the centre of Brussels, in what Belgian authorities called a "terrorist attack."

The man, who prosecutors said yelled "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest) during the assault, was shot by soldiers on a street in the city which has been on high alert since terrorist attacks on its metro and airport last year.
