BRUSSELS // Schools and the underground train system in Brussels will reopen on Wednesday but the country remains under the highest level of alert for a fourth straight day due to a continuing terrorism threat, Belgian prime minister Charles Michel said.

“The crisis centre decided to maintain the alert level four, which means the threat remains serious and imminent,” Mr Michel told a press conference. “We took the decision to reopen schools Wednesday. Same for the metro.”
