World Trade Center Lights Show Belgium's Colors

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has directed the lights of One World Trade Center be displayed in black, yellow and red in a show of solidarity with the people of Belgium following attacks that killed dozens of people in Brussels.

Cuomo released a statement Tuesday saying New York "stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Belgium and the rest of the world in rejecting hate and extremism."

Cuomo says he's also stepped up security at high-profile locations around the state, including airports, bridges, tunnels and mass transit systems.

The New York City Police Department has also increased security throughout the city.
