Brussels area close to EU headquarters cleared after bomb alert

Some 40 people are evacuated from a building near European Union headquarters in Brussels after a bomb threat was sent to a company linked to the EU.

Police spokeswoman Ilse Van de Keere says a “telephone bomb threat” was made this morning to a consulting office linked to the EU’s executive Commission and that it has been taken seriously.

Part of the street has been sealed off and sniffer dogs have been sent to the scene. The operation is still ongoing.
