Shutdown continues in Brussels as terror threat remains
The Washington Times reported quoting prosecutors that 16 people had been apprehended during 22 house raids amid fears that allies of the Islamic State may be planning a similar attack in Brussels. Police opened fire during one raid after a vehicle sped at them.
Prime Minister Charles Michel said that authorities had received "additional information" on Sunday that had led to his decision to enforce the extraordinary measures.
"We fear an attack like the attack in Paris," he said in a news conference. "Meaning several individuals conducting an attack in Brussels, possibly in several places at the same time."
