Brussels Maintains Maximum Threat Level for Second Day, Belgium On Alert
NBC News ^ | November 22, 2015 | CLAUDIO LAVANGA and CASSANDRA VINOGRAD

Belgium maintained the highest terror alert level for the capital of Brussels on Sunday, indicating a "serious and imminent" threat of attack.

The security measures came amid an international manhunt for Saleh Abdeslam, a potential accomplice to the Paris attacks last week, who was believed to have crossed into Belgium after the terror spree.

Abdeslam's brother, Mohamed, issued a fresh appeal Sunday for him to give himself up to police.

"We would rather see Salah in prison than in a cemetery," he told RTBF television.

They are not interested in war, but war is interested in them.

They let the savages in, and now are regretting it. Not too late to kick them out.

"We would rather see Salah in prison than in a cemetery,"

There are other options, like hanging upside down from a bridge, lamppost, etc.

The Grand Palace is also locked down. The Belgian Army is there. Something big is going on.

No attacks now—they will hit when they want where they can get a high body count. Macys Parade? Football game? Mall on Black Friday? Thanksgiving with all the cops off for the Holiday? Bad weather may cause them to wait a bit—but more attacks are on the way.

Can they order in room service?

This is beginning to sound like the European Vacation from Hell.

But I suppose that is to be expected if you let Muslims into your country. "Peace and tranquility" become memories of the past.
