Khalid Ben Larbi

Khalid Ben Larbi (died 15 January 2015), also known as Abu Zubayr al-Baljiki, was a Belgian Islamic State fighter. In 2014, he and Sofiane Amghar traveled to Syria and were trained in urban warfare by the Islamic State, and they later returned to Belgium to plan an attack on police stations with a 10-member terror cell. On 15 January 2015, Belgian commandos raided the cell's apartment in Verviers, and Ben Larbi and Amghar opened fire on the commandos with Kalashnikovs and lobbed grenades at them. However, the two jihadists were gunned down.
