22.03.2016
There was a large police and military presence around the buildings of the European Union in Brussels, Tuesday, following the deadly terror attacks that left 34 dead and more than 180 injured.
Earlier on Tuesday, at least 34 people were killed and more than 180 injured in bomb attacks carried out on Brussels international airport and the Maelbeek metro station. The attacks occurred just four days after Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in November's jihadist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people, was captured by Belgian police in Brussels. The so-called Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS, ISIL) has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attacks.
Belgium's chief prosecutor has described the incidents as a "terrorist attack" and said that at least one of the bombings was likely the work of a suicide bomber. Belgium has now raised its terrorism threat to its highest level.
