MORE police officers will patrol Britain’s ports, airports and railway stations in response to the Brussels terror attacks – but the UK’s terror threat level is not about to rise.

Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency COBRA meeting this morning to discuss the attacks on the Belgian capital’s airport and metro system which has left at least 34 people dead.
The current threat level for international terrorism is severe, meaning an attack is highly likely, and the PM did not raise the level to critical, which would have meant an attack was expected imminently.
However, more police will patrol the UK’s entry points and transport hubs.
Suicide bombers detonated explosives in Brussels Airport and the city’s Metro station, killing 24. A separate attack at Malbeek metro station has left 10 feared dead.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has posted on Twitter: “We are following the situation minute by minute. The absolute priority is for the victims and people who were at the airport.”
