Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level in the capital Brussels today, with the OCAM national crisis centre warning of an imminent threat a week after the Paris terror attacks.
As Europe tightens security, it said, following the recent evaluation, the centre has raised its terror alert to ‘level 4’, signifying a very serious threat, for the Brussels region. OCAM in a statement said that the analysis shows a serious and imminent threat requiring specific security measures as well as detailed recommendations to the population.
The centre urged citizens to avoid crowded areas such as concerts and transport hubs in Belgium’s capital.
