A Belgian terror cell poised to carry out 'a second Paris' attack planned to abduct and behead a senior policeman or judge, it was claimed today.

The radical Islamic group smashed in police raids yesterday planned to film the horrific murder and circulate the footage online, bringing the brutality of ISIS to the West, police sources said. 

It comes after anti-terror commandos shot dead two suspected Islamic State jihadis and arrested a third at a property in the town of Verviers.

The cell was reportedly equipped with Belgian police uniforms, four Kalashnikov machine guns, handguns and explosives.

They were also planning to take a number of hostages by seizing a bus, it was reported by Belgium's RTL broadcaster. 

The dead suspects are believed to be Redouane Hagaoui, 22, also known as Abu Khalid Al Maghribi, and Tarik Jadaoun, who has the alias Abu Hamza Belgiki.
The pair had recently returned to their home town of Verviers after fighting with ISIS in Syria.

As detectives continued to search the Verviers property for evidence, the Sudpresse news outlet said their families feared they were dead.
