BRUSSELS, Dec 21 (KUNA) -- Police and security services are on a heightened
state of alert to prevent a terror attack in Brussels, local media reported
Friday.
This follows reports that Belgian police on Thursday night detained
fourteen people who were suspected of planning to free by force Tunisian Nizar
Trabelsi, who is currently serving a ten-year-prison sentence for planning an
attack on a military base which houses American soldiers in Belgium.
Police and security services have been placed on a heightened state of
alert to thwart any terror attacks, said the media reports.
However, Belgium's Interior Ministry has reassured the population that
there is no reason to panic. (end)
