Fears of Imminent Paris-like Attack in Brussels

Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel announced on Sunday, Nov. 22, that his nation's capital remains in a state of emergency and all schools and the entire subway system will remain closed on Monday, Nov. 23.

Brussels is maintaining the highest terror alert for a "serious and imminent" threat.

Michel announced that there is intelligence warning of an attack on Brussels, "perhaps at several locations." Authorities in Brussels are braced for an attack similar to the one in Paris on Nov. 13.

The Belgian government has already taken the following measures, following last week's terrorist attacks: increased police and military presence on public transport; increased police and military capacity; a general reduction in major events that would normally attract large numbers of people; and the installation of a number for obtaining information.
