A blast shook the Maelbeek station in downtown Brussels, not far from the area that houses most of the European Union’s core institutions.
Two explosions, at least one caused by a suicide attack, in the departure hall at Brussels Airport killed at least 11 people just before 8 a.m. local time, or 3 a.m. Eastern time.
About an hour later, an explosion at the Maelbeek subway station in central Brussels, not far from the European Union’s core institutions, killed at least 15 people.
More than 130 people were reported wounded in the three attacks.
• Was it terrorism?
Officially, Prime Minister Charles Michel of Belgium said there was no information about whether the attacks were related to the arrest last week of the main surviving suspect in the assaults in and around Paris last year that killed 130 people.
But the timing is clear. “We were fearing terrorist attacks, and that has now happened,” Mr. Michel said.
The suspect arrested on Friday, Salah Abdeslam, is believed to be the sole survivor of the 10 men who were directly involved in the Paris attacks on Nov. 13.
• Why Brussels?
In addition to being the seat of European Union government and the capital of Belgium, Brussels has become a focus of counterterrorism investigations, notably since the Paris attacks.
Officials have also been concentrating on a particular Brussels neighborhood in an investigation of an Islamic State recruitment network.
Brussels has a high proportion of citizens who travel to Iraq, insular Muslim communities that have helped shield jihadists, and security services that have had problems with their counterterrorism operations.
• Who did it?
No claims of responsibility have been reported.

Belgium is a perfectly fine state. Their problem is they let in Muslim terrorists.

I think you have him confused with Enzo Scifo.
Yeah, the title is definitely overboard.
For clear, rational thought and analysis...unlike the fear mongering MSM outlets.

It's crazy that there is a sentence someone wrote that starts with the word "Trump prescient..."
But I guess they weren't talking about the New Jersey casino market??
Or the mortgage bubble?
"There is no reason for bombs not to blow up in Brussels or in Europe..."

What a day. We don't live in Brussels but Wouter works for the metro company, next to the Centraal Station. He rode past Maalbeek metro on his motorcycle not all that long after it had happened, he thought they were doing a disaster preparedness exercise.
I'm almost done at work, going to go pick up our daughter. How on earth am I going to explain that this happened at an airport she's been to so many times?

haha seriously. I don't know if we can deduce anything from a snapshot. Even if he's walking away, so what?

I was thinking about you guys this morning when I saw the news. Glad to hear you're ok but very sorry this is happening.
I remember reading about how to talk to kids about this kind of thing - that focusing on the people who are helping is one way to go.
Dude is most likely in shock. But let's not address that as a potential reason for his continued walking.
This sentence is a strong indictment of the internet.
