Authorities in Brussels extended the city’s highest-level terror alert into next week as they maintained their warning Islamic State terrorists plan to attack highly populated areas like shopping malls and public transport systems.
The city’s schools and subway will be closed for one more day before gradually re-opening on Wednesday, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told a press conference late Monday in Brussels. Belgium-born Salah Abdeslam, one of two brothers believed to have been involved in the Nov. 13 Paris assaults that killed 130, is still at large.
