Brussels Blasts ISIS claims attacks in Belgium
The attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train in the
Belgian capital came four days after Brussels police captured the prime
suspect in attacks by the jihadist groups in Paris.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for two bomb attacks that killed at least 30 people in Brussels on Tuesday, a news agency affiliated with the group said.
"Islamic
State fighters carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts
and devices on Tuesday, targeting an airport and a central metro station," the Amaq agency said.
The
attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train in the Belgian
capital came four days after Brussels police captured the prime suspect
in attacks by the jihadist groups in Paris.
"Islamic
State fighters opened fire inside Zaventem Airport, before several of
them detonated their explosive belts, as a martyrdom bomber detonated
his explosive belt in the Maalbeek metro station," Amaq said.
The attack triggered security alerts across Europe.
