As many as 31 people were killed and more than 180 injured as coordinated terrorist bombings rocked the Brussels airport and subway system during rush hour Tuesday morning in the Belgian capital according to Fox News.
The attacks, which Belgian authorities said were suicide bombings, came four days after the main suspect in the November Paris attacks was arrested in Brussels, and even as Brussels was braced for new attacks. Brussels and all of Belgium needs our prayers.
“What we feared has happened, we were hit by blind attacks.” – Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel
