| | | What we know about the attacks in Brussels | | Scores of people were killed and many others injured after three explosions rocked the airport and a metro station in Belgium’s capital. Here’s what we know: Two explosions hit the Brussels airport and another explosion rocked a metro station during the morning commute in the city. The attacks at the two locations took place a little more than an hour apart and are apparently coordinated. So far, more than 30 people have died in the attacks — 20 from the metro station attack, 11 from the airport explosions. The attacks come days after the key suspect from last year’s attacks in Paris was arrested in Brussels. Belgium was put on a maximum terrorism alert, and the capital is currently under a lockdown. The explosions have been confirmed as terrorist attacks, according to Belgium’s top prosecutor, though no one has claimed responsibility. | | Read more » |
