Brussels Remains Under Highest Alert with Soldiers, Tanks in Streets 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Belgian capital Brussels remains shut down as soldiers and tanks
patrol the streets. Belgian authorities continue to search for Salah
Abdeslam, a suspect in the Paris attacks that killed 130 people on
November 13. While subways and schools are set to reopen Wednesday,
Brussels is expected to remain on the highest level of alert through the
end of the week. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said the threat
continues, although he did not say exactly what the threat was.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel: "We are still confronted with the
same type of threat we were facing yesterday. The potential targets are
the same as yesterday, too. I remind you, these are highly-frequented
places, such as shopping areas, shopping streets, shopping centres and
public transport."
