BRUSSELS UNDER ATTACK: 23 dead as terrorist attacks Airport and Metro station

At least 23 people has been declared dead in Brussels, at suspected terrorist lay siege on the city. First was a suicide attack close to the American Airlines check-in desk at Brussels Airport, and then a second terror attack hits the Metro station near EU headquarters.

Witnesses described apocalyptic scenes with blood and 'dismembered bodies everywhere' after two blasts rocked the American Airlines check-in desk at Brussels Airport at 8am (7am GMT) in a suspected suicide bombing. At least 13 people have died and 35 were injured.


Around 90 minutes later, ten people are believed to have been killed when an explosion hit a Metro station just 400 metres from the EU headquarters in the city centre in another suspected terror attack.

The explosions come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister warned of possible revenge attacks after the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week. 
At the airport, shouts in Arabic were reportedly heard before the explosions which sent shockwaves through the terminal building, shattering windows, knocking roof tiles off the ceiling and sending terrified passengers running for their lives. (Warning Graphic Photos below)...
