Determined to prevent Islamic State (IS) terrorist attacks -- similar to those that killed 130 people in Paris last week -- Belgian police made 16 arrests today (November 22, 2015) in anti-terror raids, but suspected Paris-attacks gunman Salah Abdeslam remains at large, according to the BBC website.
A total of 22 police raids were carried out today across Brussels and Charleroi, Belgian prosecutor Eric van der Sypt told a news conference.
Brussels will remain on the highest level of terror alert, Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel said. Universities, schools, and the city's metro system will all remain closed.
Michel added that intelligence information indicated that Belgium could experience "an attack similar to the one in Paris, with several individuals who could also possibly launch several attacks at the same time in multiple locations."
