Brussels: Belgian police are still hunting for two fugitives following a deadly shootout in Brussels during an anti-terror search linked to the Paris attacks, prosecutors said Wednesday.

"Two people who were in the (raided apartment) were able to flee," Belgian prosecutors' spokesman Thierry Werts told a press conference.
