Only yesterday did Belgian authorities scale down heightened security adopted over fears of a militant attack in the capital on New Year’s Eve.
Belgium’s crisis centre, a state body that advises the government on security, said the alert status for potential targets such as the police, military and Brussels’s main square was downgraded to level two.
Brussels had called off the city’s traditional New Year’s Eve fireworks over an alleged plot to attack the capital.
Two of the Paris suicide bombers, Brahim Abdeslam and Bilal Hadfi, had been living in Belgium, and at least one man was suspected of having coordinated the attacks by mobile phone from Belgium as they were being carried out.
