Authorities in Brussels extended the city's highest-level terror alert into next week as they maintained their warning that 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 reopening 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.
"Shopping centers, streets, public transport" are all potential targets, Mr. Michel said.
The government is doing "everything in our power to keep the situation under control" and will review things each day.
He warned the threat he had told the Belgian people about over the weekend had not diminished.
