            Brussels Police Surround Man Carrying Suspicious Device

   by VOA News

   Police in Brussels cordoned off a central square where they surrounded
   a man wearing a heavy coat with wires hanging out, which they later
   called a false alarm.

   Police closed off the area near Place de la Monnaie and evacuated
   surrounding buildings Wednesday while a bomb squad investigated the
   suspicious device.

   Belgium has been under high alert since twin suicide attacks struck the
   capital city's airport and subway.

   The March 22 bombings killed 32 people and left dozens more injured.

   The Islamic State group said it was behind the attacks.
