The United States has issued a world-wide travel alert to its citizens in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.

It's warning all Americans to avoid crowded places saying attacks are being planned in several regions by groups like Islamic State.

The warnings are focused on the transport system – millions of American's will be travelling for thanksgiving on Thursday.

Transport police chief Polly Hanson says security is being stepped up at airports and train stations.

A suspected suicide belt – similar to those used in the Paris attacks – is being analysed by French Police.

The object – which lacked a detonator – was found in a dustbin in the southern suburb of Montrouge.

Sky's Enda Brady – in the French capital – says authorities in Belgium and France are still searching for key suspect Salah Abdeslam.

A Kilmihil native, who is living and working in Brussels, has described the level of policing there as unnerving. 

Brussels remains on high alert for a fourth day with the Belgian Prime Minister insisting the threat of a terror attack "remains serious and imminent".

The army and armed police remain on the streets today and schools and the underground system are still shut.

Eoin Keane says the level of protection there provides some comfort.
