There are signs that more Islamic
State inspired militants have been sent to Belgium and Europe, Belgian
authorities said on Tuesday, maintaining the country's threat status at the
second-highest level. Belgium's alert level was cut to
three from the maximum of four just two days after the March 22 attacks which
killed 32 people at the airport and on the metro in Brussels. It has remained
at that level since.
"There are indications that
Islamic State has sent fighters to Europe and Belgium, the threat level which
is currently at three will not go down," a spokesman of Belgium's crisis
center said.
By maintaining the level three
status, authorities indicate that an attack is possible and likely. Prosecutors detained two men seen
on security footage alongside the metro and airport suicide bombers on April 8,
meaning all known Brussels bombings suspects are dead or in custody.
