Brussels area close to EU headquarters reopened after bomb alert
Police in Brussels have reopened a street close to the European Union headquarters after a bomb threat was sent to a company linked to the EU.
Police spokeswoman Ilse Van de Keere says a “telephone bomb threat” temporarily forced the evacuation of some 40 people from a building close to the EU Commission on Tuesday. Police sealed off the street and had it checked for explosives, but reopened it after a thorough check with sniffer dogs.
Officials say the company is a consulting office linked to the EU’s executive Commission but have not named it.
