Belgium extends security alert for capital amid terror fear

Belgian authorities have extended a maximum security alert in the capital, Brussels, over lingering fears of an “imminent” terrorist attack.

On Monday, Prime Minister Charles Michel warned that the threat of a coordinated attack in the capital city “remains serious and imminent.”

“The crisis center decided to maintain the alert level four, which means the threat remains serious and imminent,” Michel said, adding that the threat level will be reviewed again next Monday.
