Brussels Attacks: Bomb Explosions Kill Dozens, Injure Scores More

Explosions strike airport, train station.

Bombs rang out Tuesday at transportation hubs in Brussels, killing at least 34 people and injuring more than 170 at the city's busy airport and a subway station near the headquarters of the European Union, putting the Belgium capital on virtual lockdown.

“We were fearing terrorist attacks, and that has now happened,” Belgium Prime Minister Charles Michel said.

The attacks come four days after the capture of Europe’s most wanted man, Salah Abdeslam, who was taken into custody Friday for his connection to the November attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
