An apartment believed to be used by at least one of the suspects in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks has been found in Brussels, Belgian prosecutors said in a statement Friday.

According to the statement, police found suicide belts, traces of explosives and a fingerprint of fugitive suspect Salah Abdeslam inside an apartment in Schaerbeek district.

Meanwhile, French police shot dead a suspected suicide bomber yesterday as he attacked a police station in Paris, a year to the day since extremist gunmen killed 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo magazine.

The man reportedly was carrying a knife and possibly wearing what appeared to be an explosives vest, the interior ministry said. News of the attack came just after President Francois Hollande concluded a somber speech at police headquarters to mark the anniversary of the killings at Charlie Hebdo's offices on Jan. 7, 2015.

The man was carrying a mobile phone and a sheet of paper showing the Daesh flag and claims of responsibility written in Arabic, the Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said in a statement.

A number of the Paris attackers, who killed 130 people, were French nationals living in Belgium. Alleged mastermind of the attack, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who was killed in a police raid in Paris, was also a Belgian.

Abdeslam, who is suspected of having participated in the killings on Nov. 13, remains at large and is the subject of a European-wide manhunt.

According to a 2014 UN report, Belgium has the highest per capita number of fighters in Syria and Iraq of all European nations.

Daesh was blamed for the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, which was termed the deadliest terrorist act in Europe in a decade.
