Belgium holds terror alert at 2nd highest level after shootout

March 16, 2016 21:05

Prime Minister Charles Michel today said the country's terror alert would stay at the second-highest level, a day after a deadly police raid linked

to November's Paris attacks.

Michel told a press conference that the OCAM national crisis centre "maintains its level three alert level, which means a threat is possible and likely".

Brussels was locked down and the alert level raised to the highest of four shortly after the jihadist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people, but it was lowered back to three a few days later.

"I want to insist on the fact that the level three is not an ordinary level," Michel said.

"We have warned for some time that level three was likely to last for some time," he added.
