BREAKING: At least 13 people were killed and dozens of others were injured after explosions rocked the Brussels airport and subway system Tuesday morning, days after a key suspect in last November's Paris terror attack was apprehended in the city.

Authorities did not immediately confirm that the explosions were a terror attack. However, Belgium's interior minister announced that the terror threat was being raised to its maximum level. Flights were canceled and arriving planes were diverted, while all public transportation in Brussels was shut down. Security was also tightened at all Paris airports.

"One person has died and perhaps there are several more," said a police official at the airport told the Associated Press.

Brussels Airport spokesman Anke Fransen confirmed that the blasts occurred shortly after 8 a.m. local time (3 a.m. EST). Reuters, citing the Belga news agency, reported that shots were fired and shouting in Arabic was heard before the explosions.

I would guess this was a plan in the works and with the recent arrests the timetable changed, Europe has a serious crisis on their hands.

Kind of puts a dent in the theory that these terrorist simply hate America for invading the Middle East, doesn't it?

What did Belgium do? I guess this is retribution for them actually trying to carry out the law and defend themselves,or something.

* ETA - being reported but not much more, the bombs went off at the American airlines desk. Which happens to be right next to a Starbucks. This attack was directed at Americans.

And the desrination for this particular American Airlines flight ? Philadelphia

There seems to be a lot of Islamophobia in Brussels today :dunno:

It will be nice when the deniers in the U.S. get a bad case of it.

Muslims need to stand on their hands and proclaim their innoence just to prove they are totally innocent.

Shariah Law is incompatible in America

And also, most Muslims are closet terrorists; they just either haven't realized it yet or they secretly rejoiced when this terroristic event happened.

Trust me when I tell you that as someone who rides metro everyday. The reason for the shutdown was severe safety issues. The problems are so severe that months ago, FTA took over the safety oversight of metro. It had nothing to do with terrorism.

Do you realize the ignorance of your posts?

Here is a list of terror attacks in the USA over the past 20 years or so. As you can see, terror runs the gambit of extremists group. But even more disturbing of your assertion is why you insists on lumping all Muslims in with Islamic Extremism?

I love how certain people Lump in crazy shootings that have no real meaning in with those who devoutly claim to be Muslim and murder in the name of Allah. As if one has anything to do with the other.

I love how certain people lump violent extremists from one religion in a different part of the world with hard-working immigrants from a non-Muslim country in this hemisphere who have committed no terrorist attacks.
