"In this time of elevated threat, the US Embassy in Brussels reminds US citizens to exercise caution in public transportation systems, sporting events, residential areas, business offices, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas, shopping malls, and other tourist destinations," read the update on the embassy's website.
