Brussels extends terror alert as US issues travel warning
Online Edition
BRUSSELS will stay at the highest security threat level for another week over fears of an imminent attack, the Belgian government said Monday, as the US issued a worldwide terror alert for its citizens.
On the third day of an unprecedented security lockdown in the Belgian capital, Prime Minister Charles Michel warned the threat of a coordinated attack in the institutional capital of Europe "remains serious and imminent".
Belgian authorities charged a fourth person in connection with the bloodshed in Paris, when gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group, as an international manhunt continued for key suspect Salah Abdeslam.
French police sources said Monday they had found a suspected explosives belt in a suburb near the French capital where the 26-year-old was thought to have been on the night of the killings.
The item was found in a dustbin in Montrouge, south of Paris, where a person close to the enquiry said telephone data placed Belgian-born Abdeslam on the night of November 13.
Another police source said the belt appeared to have "the same configuration" as those used by the jihadists who carried out the killings in the French capital, the country's worst such attacks.
