Brussels under attack: Many dead after explosions at airport and on Metro It is believed shots were fired before the explosions
Belgium is this morning believed to be under attack after multiple blasts at Brussels Airport and on the city’s metro system.
At least 11 people are believed to have been killed and dozens more injured following the explosions. Some reports have said the airport explosion was a suicide bomber.
It is believed the American Airlines departure desk was targeted at the airport while a station in the Maalbeek area close to EU parliament buildings appears to have been targeted as well.
Brussels Airport blasts: Explosions heard at three Metro stations
There are also reports of shots being fired near the places where the blasts went off and Arabic was shouted beforehand.
The country has now been put on terror level 4 – the highest possible level – and transport systems are being closed down.
Some reports suggest that firefighters have discovered up to three more explosive devices at the airport, also known as Zaventem Airport.
Flights and train services to and from the airport have been suspended.
Sky News Middle East correspondent Alex Rossi, who was at the airport en route for Tel Aviv, told the channel: ‘I could feel the buildings move.’
Mr Rossi told Sky News people were ‘dazed and shocked’.
‘The word is definitely two explosions.
‘The thinking here by everybody is that it is some kind of terrorist attack although that hasn’t been verified by anyone here at the airport.
‘No word too of casualties. Don’t know how the explosion took place, the method if you like. But it certainly seems Brussels airport has been targeted in a terrorist attack.
‘We are all being moved out of the airport now towards the emergency exit. There is a great deal of confusion here. Certainly there are a number of very upset, as you might imagine, very frightened people.’
He added: ‘There are fears that there might be other attackers.’
The incident came as the Belgian capital was on a state of high alert following the arrest of Paris terror attack suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week.

The apparent attacks occurred just days after the alleged mastermind of last year’s massive terror attacks in Paris was arrested in Brussels. Police had said that another suspect may still be at large.

The Belgian Government has confirmed casualties, but would not say how many, as travellers are evacuated from the scene. All three explosions occurred during morning peak hour in the Belgian capital.
A spokesman from the airport confirmed there were two blasts in the departure hall with some reports claiming one explosion went off at an American Airlines desk.
Photos emerging on social media show shattered windows and smoke as travellers flee the airport.
The Belgian Transport Authority have closed all metro stations after the third explosion at Maalbeek metro station, which is close to European Union buildings.
The capital of Belgium has been on high alert since alleged terrorist Salah Abdeslam — who has been charged over the Paris attacks —was arrested on Friday.

It's a golden age for Muslim hating. When white people start shooting up their workplace or local movie theaters they never get the same hate. There hasn't been one those white people shootings in a couple of days at least. Or the media just stopped reporting them because they happen so often.

No it's pretty clear that Muslims are behind it, this is Islamic Terrorists MO, and people heard arabic shouting before the bombs went off.
What on earth made you think people would be butthurt?
Is it because you tend to say pretty hateful stuff about Muslims whenever you get the chance and people got butthurt about that, but instead of checking with yourself if you weren't being a massive dick you constructed a little narative in your head that people want to coddle Muslims and protect them from bad words no matter what?
COOOOULD THAT BE THE CASE, M8?!!

According to a Kurdish news network, Ruddaw, the caliphate has claimed the attacks.

There is no way this was a terrorist attack, the steel beams couldn't melt from those type of temperatures

Horrible news...this needs to stop.
Also, just because they shouted in Arabic doesn't neccessarily mean Muslims were behind it.
A white guy can very easily wear a mask and yell out some Arabic shit. CALL ME CRAZY. That's impossible, right??

That could be possible. People are nuts. But I tend to take things at face value unless there's reason not to.
Plus, as I mentioned above, the caliphate (ISIS/ISIL/DAESH/WHATEVER) claimed the attacks.
I hope this doesn't lead to more bombings in Syria
