Brussels, Belgium (CNN)Three explosions that ripped through Belgium on Tuesday killed at least 23 people, according to Belgian media, and raised the specter of terror once again in the heart of Europe.

Ten died in a blast at a subway station, according to two Belgian broadcasters. The other 13 were killed, in addition to 35 injured, in two blasts at Brussels' airport, reported public broadcaster VRT.

The Belgian Office of the King's Prosecutor described the airport blast, at least, as a suicide attack, according to state broadcaster RTBF.

At least one explosion there happened outside the security checkpoints for ticketed passengers and near the airline check-in counters, an airline official briefed on the situation said.​

It was three bombs , not a bomb and gun attack, and it was unlikely to be directly related to the arrest of Abdeslam due the level of co-ordination involved. He was probably part of the planning though.

Personally I've been through that airport many times in the past. I'm glad I wasn't there this morning.
 
People of interest.

Shame that these asshats give Muslims a bad name. You know it's f***ed up when your girlfriend who's Muslim is legitimately afraid of being forced to be tracked and tagged like livestock if someone like Trump becomes president. She's born in Texas, 100% American.

I hope this attack on Brussles motivates the superpowers to take ISIS seriously. So far, everyone keeps saying they need to be stopped, but no one wants to commit to the job. They've seen what happened to us in Afghanistan and Iraq.
 

This about sums up how i feel about the attack. 15 years of war against the same sort of people and things have not changed, maybe we should try something different at this point. They knew the attack was coming, they locked their cities down, they had internal surveillance up the ass and they still couldn't stop this attack, hey NSA take notes. Government can't save you from terrorist attacks, people are still going to die. this has to be fought on an ideological level.
 
That sucks. So much shyt in the world.

I'm happy the US and Canada are friendly to each other. And also the longest unguarded border in the world. Heck, Canada and the US even had a spat in the war of 1812!
