Terror Alert Triggered at Brussels Shopping Center

Belgian prosecutors say a suspicious man triggered a bomb alert at a Brussels shopping center at 5:30 Monday morning.

A suspect was arrested, but authorities said no explosives were found on him.

Prime Minister Charles Michel held an emergency meeting Tuesday morning with Belgium's crisis center, which coordinates security measures, according to Belgian media.

The shopping center was closed off for investigation. Only one exit at the nearby metro stop remained open, where soldiers checked passengers' bags and belongings.

Belgium has remained under a terror alert since attacks in March on the Brussels airport and subway killed 32 people.
