The attacks have rocked Europe.
At least 34 people have died and several more are injured in Brussels after attacks on Zaventem Airport and the Maalbeek metro station.
This afternoon, Isis has claimed responsibility for the act of terrorism, saying that Belgium is “a country participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State”.
The Islamic state propaganda outlet has said that “explosive belts and devices” were used.
“Islamic State fighters carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts and devices on Tuesday, targeting an airport and a central metro station in the centre of the Belgian capital Brussels,” The AMAQ agency, which is affiliated to the jihadist organisation, has said.
“Islamic State fighters opened fire inside Zaventem Airport, before several of them detonated their explosive belts, as a martyrdom bomber detonated his explosive belt in the Maalbeek metro station,” as reported by The Independent.
“The attacks resulted in more than 230 dead and wounded.”
