CNN – 2 explosions at Brussels Airport, 1 at subway station; 26 killed

Brussels, Belgium (CNN)Three explosions that ripped through the Belgian capital of Brussels on Tuesday killed at least 26 people and wounded 130 more, according to Belgian media, and raised the reality of terror once again in the heart of Europe.

“We were fearing terrorist attacks, and that has now happened,” Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told reporters.

Belgian federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said it was too soon to know exactly how many people died in the bombings. Yet the Brussels Metro Authority reported that 15 died and 55 were wounded in the subway station blast. And Belgian media report at least 11 more people were killed in the two blasts in the Brussels Airport departure hall.

Of the two explosions at the airport, at least one was a suicide bombing, Van Leeuw said. A blast happened there outside the security checkpoints for ticketed passengers and near the airline check-in counters, an airline official briefed on the situation said.

Faith Based Events

From Inform.com – 

At least two explosions rocked the check-in zone of Brussels Airport Tuesday, killing and wounding “several” people, while another blast shook a metro station in the Belgian capital. Officials raised the terror threat level, shut down all public transport in the city and advised locals to stay indoors as the crisis unfolded. Federal police later confirmed that an explosion occurred at Maalbeck metro station, which is located near European Union institution buildings. Passengers fled the airport’s departures hall after the first incident around 8 a.m. local time (3 a.m.)
