Belgian PM Charles Michel says Brussels has been placed on its highest level of terror alert in response to information about the risk of an attack like the one in Paris last week.

The fear was that “several individuals with arms and explosives could launch an attack… perhaps even in several places”, Mr Michel said.

Some of the attackers who killed 130 people in Paris lived in Brussels.

Leading suspect Salah Abdeslam is believed to have gone back to Belgium.

He is now the focus of a huge manhunt.
