Terror attack in Brussels airport - at least 28 killed, dozens injured

Brussels Airport was the scene of a terror attack n which at least 28 people were killed and dozens injured - the attacks happened at the city's airport and a metro station near the EU headquarters. Two blasts rocked the American Airlines check-in desk at the Airport at 8am. It was a suspected suicide bombing.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 22 March 2016.

Approximately 90 minutes after the bomb blast at the airport, there was another blast that destroyed a the Maelbeek Metro station located just 400 metres from the EU headquarters in the city center. The attacks have come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister had warned of possible revenge attacks following the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week.
Firefighters who searched for survivors are believed to have found a third unexploded device, even as armed police in protective clothing combed the area looking for more wounded travelers and suspicious bags.
Flights that are due to land at Brussels-Zaventem, which handles 21million passengers a year, were diverted to Antwerp, Liege, and Brussels Charleroi airports. As a result of this attack, Europe's biggest airports are all increasing their security today. Heathrow has increased its own 'visible' security in the wake of the attacks – with large units of armed police patrolling the airport from morning.
