Paris attacks: Schools and metro reopen in Brussels
Schools and many metro stations in Brussels have reopened after being shut four days ago in a security crackdown following the Paris attacks.
But the Belgian capital remains on the highest alert level, with hundreds of armed police and soldiers on patrol.
Authorities fear Paris-style attacks may be carried out, as at least one Paris gunman had lived in Brussels.
France says 130 people died in a series of attacks in Paris. At least one suspected attacker is still at large.
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group says it carried out the attacks. Five people have been charged in Belgium with terrorism offences in connection with the attacks in neighbouring France.
In Brussels, schools reopened on Wednesday and public transport began running again from 06:00 (GMT) though some metro lines remained closed.
However, the city is expected to remain on its current top level of alert until at least next Monday.
Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said the authorities were looking for about 10 suspects, who may be involved in planning attacks, possibly on shopping centres.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected ringleader who was killed in police raids in the Parisian suburb of Saint Denis, was near the Bataclan theatre during a deadly siege there.
French officials say mobile phone data also show he returned to cafes and restaurants targeted in the attacks. They say there is evidence that Abaaoud was planning an attack on the La Defense business district.
