ISIS claims resonsibility for Brussels attack and warns Britain of more severe attacks


While claiming responsibility for the Brussels airport terminal and Metro station attacks in which 34 people died and many more were injured, ISIS has threatened to hit the UK 'harder and more bitter'. As a result, Britain has vamped up security with armed officers taking to the streets near major landmarks, train stations and airports.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 22 March 2016.
Prime Minister David Cameron has called a meeting of the government's emergency COBRA committee, and Britain's official terrorist threat level stands at 'severe' - this is the second-highest level on a five-point scale and means an attack is highly likely.
At least two people in Brussels were arrested outside the city's North railway station, a mile from the Maelbeek subway, in connection to the attack. A third suspect was arrested on a train near Amsterdam and, a suspect package at Gard du Nord in Paris delayed Eurostar services in the afternoon. Another man was also taken into custody by armed police at Brussels South railway station near the suburb of Schaerbeek.
