Brussels remains on high alert; 16 detained

Belgian Police detained 16 people in a number of raids but lone surviving terrorist of the attack, Salah Abdeslam was not among them. The prosecutors announced that police authorities maintained their highest terror alert in the capital Brussels for a third straight day.

Following a national security council meeting, Prime Minister Charles Michel said that universities, schools and the metro would stay shut amid a serious and imminent threat of terror attacks. He said, the rest of the country will be at a threat level of three on a four-tier scale.
