French police are examining what appears to be a suicide bomb belt dumped on a Paris street, 10 days after the attacks that killed 130 people.<\/p>\n

It is said to resemble belts used by the attackers and was found in a suburb which a suspect is thought to have passed through after the attacks.<\/p>\n

The US has issued a worldwide travel alert in response to the attacks.<\/p>\n

The Belgian capital Brussels remains on high alert, and schools and the metro will stay closed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They are due to reopen on Wednesday but the highest alert level will continue for at least another week.<\/p>\n

Authorities fear Paris-style attacks may be carried out in the city, where at least one Paris attacker lived, with Prime Minister Charles Michel warning the threat remained “imminent”.<\/p>\n

‘Detonator missing’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The suspected explosives belt was found in a dustbin on Monday by street cleaners in the Montrouge district, police say.<\/p>\n

Police sources told news agencies it resembled those used in the 13 November attacks. According to AFP news agency, the device lacks a detonator.<\/p>\n

Investigators say mobile phone data suggest that Salah Abdeslam – whose brother Brahim blew himself up during the attacks – was in the area on 13 November.<\/p>\n

One theory is that Salah Abdeslam had planned to detonate the bomb belt but abandoned the plan.<\/p>\n

“Maybe he had a technical problem with his explosive belt,” a police source told Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n

A massive manhunt for Salah Abdeslam is continuing in both France and Belgium.<\/p>\n

\"Soldiers<\/span><\/figure>\n

Brussels on Monday saw a third day of unprecedented restrictions, with troops and armed police patrolling the streets.<\/p>\n

Announcing that the state of alert would remain at level four, Mr Michel stressed “we must all progressively get back to a normal life”.<\/p>\n

The rest of Belgium remains on alert level three, meaning an attack is seen as possible and credible.<\/p>\n

How is Brussels affected by terror threat?<\/p>\n

Belgian police have charged a fourth suspect with terrorism offences related to the Paris attacks, the federal prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

The unnamed man was one of 21 people detained in raids on Sunday and Monday. Seventeen have been released without charge.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Amri, 27, and Hamza Attou, 20, have already been charged with aiding Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, who remains at large. A third, unnamed suspect has also been charged.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, France carried out its first strikes against IS from its Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, newly deployed in the eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

French jets bombed IS targets in Iraq and Syria, including Raqqa, IS’s key Syrian stronghold, the defence ministry said.<\/p>\n
