Brussels on security clampdown; new arrests in Paris probe

Although there was no official reason stated, Belgium was in a state of heightened security. The government advised citizens to avoid going to public places that would have large crowds and also closed all subways in the capitol, Brussels. While there were some inconveniences, like a canceled soccer game, most would agree this shutdown was beneficial. On the same day, three other men were arrested on suspicion on helping the Paris attacks last week. A fourth man was also arrested but was later released. The article also goes on to state that Salah Abdeslam is on the run and has an international search warrant. Abdeslam was questioned by the police a few hours after the terrorists attacks but was eventually released since the police did not know he was a suspect during that time.
