Belgians are currently fighting ISIS threats with cat photos
Belgium was placed under the highest level of terror alert due to an "imminent threat" this weekend. Both schools and public transportation have been shut down through Monday.
Knowing how difficult it is to keep anything secret these days, the Brussels police force took to Twitter to ask for full civilian cooperation in observing "radio silence on social media about ongoing police operations in #Brussels."
Par sécurité, veuillez respecter le silence radio sur les médias sociaux concernant les opérations de police en cours à #Bruxelles. Merci

Not only are the citizens of Brussels cooperating with this police request, they are doing a little something extra to show their support for authorities-- tweeting cat memes.
From felines who are taking up arms to help the police...

...to kitties who simply want to keep calm and urge others not to panic and foil the anti-terrorism effort.

Belgian citizens ultimately had one message for ISIS today: The police will have full public cooperation until the terrorists have been apprehended.
