BRUSSELS, Ramadan 14, 1437, June 19, 2016, SPA -- Brussels central train station was evacuated for about an hour on Sunday because of a suspicious suitcase amid heightened security fears in the Belgian capital after a huge anti-terror operation led to three men being charged with terrorism offences, Reuters reported. The suitcase later turned out to be a false alarm but shows Belgium's high state of alert. Belgian police searched 40 houses and 152 garage lockups between Friday night and Saturday, arresting 12 people following reports of possible attacks targeting soccer fans watching the matches in Brussels. They later released nine after questioning. --SPA 16:27 LOCAL TIME 13:27 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
