At least 30 dead in Brussels blasts, ISIS claims responsibility
- 8 years ago
BRUSSELS — The blasts in Belgium have left at least 30 dead and dozens more injured. New reports indicate ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The first incident took place at Brussels Airport at 8 a.m., while the second occurred shortly after at 9:19 a.m. in the Maelbeek subway station.
At the airport, reports indicate the suspects entered the departure lounge and began yelling in Arabic before firing Kalashnikov rifles. At least one of the suspects is believed to have detonated a suicide vest.
Authorities say as many as three terrorists were involved. One of the blasts rocked the third row of the departure lounge check-in, while the other detonated close by. A third undetonated bomb was later discovered.
Close to 80 minutes later, a three-carriage subway train was pulling out of Maelbeek station when one of the carriages exploded. Early reports estimate at least 20 are presumed dead. Authorities continue to investigate whether the blast on the metro was the result of a suicide bomber or a planted explosive.
Police have released an image from CCTV footage showing three male suspects involved in the airport attacks. Reports indicate two of them likely died in the blasts, while a third remains on the loose.
