Belgium’s security threat analysis centre said on Wednesday it is keeping the security alert status at its current level despite reports that fighters from Syria could pose an imminent threat.
“We are still on level three, quite a high level of threat,” said Benoit Ramacker, spokesman for the Crisis Centre. level three out of a possible four means the threat is considered serious, possible and probable. The Derniere Heure tabloid reported Belgium’s anti-terror office has warned police that fighters with access to weapons could have left Syria about 10 days ago bound for Belgium and France.
