BRUSSELS (AP) — Authorities in the Belgian capital shot and killed a Tunisian national on Tuesday hours after they say he gunned down three Swedish soccer fans, killing two of them, and posted a video online in which he claimed credit for the attack

Investigators are still trying to determine the motive for Monday night's attack, which happened not far from where Belgium's men's soccer team was hosting Sweden in a European Championships qualifier. The match was suspended at halftime and the more than 35,000 fans were kept inside the stadium as a precaution while the attacker was at large.

She thanked Belgium's intelligence and security services, as well as prosecutors,"for their swift and decisive action.” The man was shot in the Schaerbeek neighborhood near where the attack happened. “Last night, three people left for what was supposed to be a wonderful soccer party. Two of them lost their lives in a brutal terrorist attack,” De Croo said. “Their lives were cut short in full flight, cut down by extreme brutality.”

Van Leeuw said the suspect posted a video online claiming to have killed three Swedish people and saying the Quran was “a red line for which he is ready to sacrifice himself.”
