Islamic State claims Brussels blasts - media
Islamic State claimed responsibility for two bomb attacks that
killed at least 30 people in Brussels on Tuesday, Reuters reported
with the reference to Amaq news agency.
"Islamic State fighters carried out a series of bombings with
explosive belts and devices on Tuesday, targeting an airport and a
central metro station," the Amaq agency said.
The attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train in the
Belgian capital came four days after Brussels police captured the
prime suspect in attacks by the jihadist groups in Paris.
"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,"
Amaq said.
