Brussels Attacks
22 March 2016

A string of explosions has hit Brussels airport and a city metro station, with reports of 23 people killed, as Belgium raised its terror threat to the maximum level. The blasts come days after the dramatic arrest in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, the prime suspect in the Paris terror attacks that killed 130 people in November, after four months on the run.
