Algerian Killed in Belgium Terror Raid Matches ISIS Recruitment File

The name and other personal details of an Algerian man killed during a police raid in Belgium this week match those of an ISIS fighter who wanted to be suicide attacker, according to documents obtained by NBC News.

Mohamed Belkaid, 35, died during a shootout with French and Belgian police at an apartment in Brussels, prosecutors said.

The raid targeted people suspected of helping those responsible for the Nov. 13 Paris terror attacks. 

Belkaid's name and other details match those on a 2014 recruitment form obtained by NBC News from a Syrian man who claims to have stolen them from ISIS. Meanwhile, Belgian prosecutors said they had found the fingerprints of fugitive Paris attacker Salah Abdelsam at the scene of the raid.
