UPDATE 2

It's not a normal party night tonight (Friday) in Belgium's capital Brussels. The U.S. Embassy in Brussels informs U.S. citizens that the Renaissance Hotel on Rue du Parnasse 19 has been evacuated in Brussels.

This night has a dark and threatening tone for tourists visiting this city and for locals alike. Belgium places Brussels at the highest terror alert level. Level four was announced and is meant to be a serious and imminent threat.

Belgium troops are being deployed in Brussel. Citizens, tourists are asked not to use public transport.

It's not clear if Brussels airport will be open Saturday. Rumors are trains may shut down. Public meetings may be announced to be illegal - Brussels may be shutting down on Saturday.

The European capital is scared tonight and may come to a standstill tomorrow, Saturday.

FIRST POST >> LEVEL 4 JUST WENT ON

Google Translate

The Crisis Center of the Interior has raised the threat level in Brussels from level 3 to level 4. In the rest of the country remains the terror level 3. Level 4 is the highest threat level in our country and means that the threat = "very seriously and is near . " The last time level 4 (local) was in force in our country after the attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, on May 24 last year.

"Following a re-evaluation of the OCAD (Unit for Coordination and Threat Analysis, ed.) On Friday November 20, the threat level has been raised to level four (severe and very close) for the Region", let Crisis Centre said in a statement. "The Level 3 continues to apply in the rest of the country."

"The analysis shows a serious and immediate threat to ... ?", so the Crisis Centre continues. "That threat requires to adopt specific security measures and specific recommendations to the public."

The Crisis Centre is doing its population following recommendations:

Avoid places where many people congregate,
especially in the Brussels Region (concerts and major events, stations and airports, public transport, crowded shopping)
Respect the security checks
Do not spread rumors; only information from the authorities and police forces

The Crisis Center provides even note that "in order not to jeopardize the judicial inquiries", no additional information can be given right now ....
