Belgian PM says terror alert level remains unchanged

BRUSSELS, June 21 (KUNA) -- The terror alert level in Belgium remains unchanged on 3 (on a scale of 4), but this does not mean extra security measures will not be taken after the failed "terrorist" attack at the Brussels Central station Tuesday night.
This was confirmed by Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel after a meeting with the National Security Council, Belgian media reported.
He underlined that there are no indications of a new, imminent attack. Level 3 means that an attack remains possible and even probable. "Even before today, we had decided to earmark more cash for our security services", Michel said.
Michel added that "we should try to continue living our lives as normal, being vigilant at the same time. We should not let ourselves be intimidated in times where our basic values, like freedom and democracy, are being threatened." (end) nk.mt
