French police also took part in Tuesday’s operation in Brussels. One of the officers wounded in the raid was a French policewoman, officials said.Police went to search an apartment in the southern suburb of Forest on Tuesday afternoon.

“During this operation, one or several people opened fire on the police as they came through the door,” the federal prosecutor’s office said.
