Well, the world is now aware of the expanding threat of jihadist terrorism abroad. The mayor of Brussels has ordered sharp security measures within the last 24 hours as the security threat level was raised to the maximum.
Subway service was completely shut down and closed off. Citizens were advised not to congregate in groups or attend public events where crowds might gather. Military units wre called to the urban environment to provide extra protection against suicide bombers and attackers.
After the terrorist actions in Paris 1 week ago, Western European governments are on high alert.
Given the flood of refugees and asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa, it is completely understandable that these precautions are taken.
Diplomats and Foreign service representatives are meeting to assess a response to these new developments as ISIS takes its murderous campaign beyond the borders of Arab countries and Islamic cultural centers in the Levant.
