Belgium has raised its terror alert in the Brussels region to the highest level, warning of a "very serious" and "imminent" threat.
The metro will be closed till at least Sunday, and the public has been warned to avoid crowds, including shopping center's and concerts, a statement said.
The warning for the rest of Belgium stays at a lower level - still serious.
Brussels was home to the suspected perpetrators of the Paris terror attacks carried out a week ago.
One of those being sought, Salah Abdeslam, is believed to have gone back to Belgium.
On Friday, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution to "redouble" action against Islamic State following last week's deadly attacks in the French capital in which 130 people died.
The French-drafted document urges UN members to "take all necessary measures" in the fight against IS, which said it carried out the attacks.

If it happened in a strange way and looks too difficult to solve then it’s not yours to solve and not yours to worry about. You should never worry over what you do not have control of. Worrying will only cause you pain that will leave you unprepared for your normal life. A man with life is a man with hope, worry less for worrying doesn’t solve a problem rather it cause you pain.
