Breaking news.
Let's hope they are not at it again.

Two blasts near the American Airline departure desk. Casualties reported.

If the shattered windows are anything to go by there are going to be a lot of casualties here. Horrible.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Blimey....Belgium are really taking a kicking at the moment!

Unconfirmed reports on Twatter of 11 dead and Arabic heard being shouted just before the blasts.

Unconfirmed reports on Twatter of 11 dead and Arabic heard being shouted just before the blasts.

Sky news saying [from official sources] that there is only one dead

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Terrible scenes

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Surely it's getting to the point the Euros need to be reviewed?

Sky news saying [from official sources] that there is only one dead

I do hope it's only one, although one is one to many.

 

[Everest]

Sky news saying [from official sources] that there is only one dead

ITV are saying one source said 1 dead but another source said 11 dead.

 

[atomised]

BBC saying rumours of 11 dead but 1 confirmed and that further bombs found

It looks like they are-reports of an explosion at a Metro station.

 

[Hillian1]

Explosions now in Brussels Metro.

Religion of Peace etc, etc.

I would say the opposite. Increase security for the tournament, however if a tournament that tens of millions enjoy gets cancelled because of the very few terrorists they have suceeded in disrupting western life; and would have acheived their objective

 

[surrey jim]

Now saying further explosions at a metro station near EU center in Brussels

Random question. The last one was 11 years ago.

I'd agree with this, hiding and hoping the bad men go away tends to be a losing strategy.

 

[Hillian1]

3 different Metro Stations now.

There have been several arrests and convictions of planned attacks, but our security forces are doing a great job in preventing them.



This attack may well change security at airports. At the moment anyone can walk into a departure lounge without being scanned.
