Minister Charles Michel and Public Transport

commercial centres: Michel told a press conference the threat involved one or more individuals capable of striking a number of sites using weapons and explosives, according to Toronto Star. Potential targets included commercial centres, public transport, shopping streets and large public gatherings, he said. Following the receipt of what Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel described as quite precise information about the risk of an attack like the one that happened in Paris, the country national crisis centre raised its terror alert for the Brussels region to Level 4, which indicates a serious and immediate threat. The alert came as authorities across Europe continued the manhunt for Salah Abdeslam, a Brussels resident who is believed to be one of the attackers who used automatic rifles and explosives to kill 130 people in a co-ordinated assault in Paris on Nov. 13. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the massacre. He crossed from France into Belgium the morning after the attacks, but his whereabouts is unknown. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
