| Heads up for the Brussels-bound: Brussels police on the lookout over metro terror attack threat |
| 2023-03-09 |
| [Shafaq News] The Belgian federal police said Wednesday it remained "vigilant" after it received an email Tuesday threatening a terror attack targeting the Brussels underground metro system. "At the moment, we remain very vigilant, as is necessary," said a spokesperson for the Belgian federal police, in charge of security in metro stations. The police swept the metro during the night but "found nothing suspicious," the spokesperson added. According to a spokesperson for the Brussels civil prosecutor — which has taken over the investigation — the risk of a "real attack" is considered "unlikely." A Belgian National Crisis Center spokesperson — charged with organizing the security response in case of a terror attack — said the threat was being evaluated but confirmed that an attack was unlikely. The American embassy in Brussels picked up the threat and issued a warning to U.S. citizens, recommending they "use caution when traveling in and around Brussels." Brussels suffered a major terrorist attack at the city’s international airport and the Maelbeek metro station in March 2016, killing 32 people. |
