Sky's Alex Rossi, at the scene, said: "I was in the duty free in Zaventem Airport and I heard two very, very loud explosions.

"I could feel the building move. There was also dust and smoke as well.

"I went towards where the explosion came from and there were people coming out looking very dazed and shocked.

"The thinking here is that it is some kind of terrorist attack although that hasn't been verified by any of the authorities here at the airport.

"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.

Two suicide bombers who attacked the international airport in Brussels have been named by Belgian media as the brothers Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui.


The RTBF broadcaster said the pair were known to police. A third man pictured with them at the airport is still being sought.


Twin explosions at the airport and another at a metro station on Tuesday left about 34 dead and 250 wounded.


Belgium is observing three days of national mourning.


RTBF said the brothers were known to police and had criminal records but were not until now linked to any terrorist activity.


The broadcaster said that Khalid el-Bakraoui had used a false name to rent the flat in the Forest area of the Belgian capital where police killed a gunman in a shootout last week.


It was during that raid that police found a fingerprint of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris terror attacks of 13 November. He was arrested in a raid last Friday.

"Let’s go over this one more time: Anytime you hear ISIS has done anything, ANYTHING, know that somewhere along the line if the USA didn’t directly arm them or give them aid through our NATO allies, that the entire destruction of regions and cultures had been previously plotted by the US government and the Corporate Masters of Silicon Valley. We planned all this chaos in advance, kept it going, and now pretend we’re shocked people are dying.

Scratch that, shocked the WRONG people are dying. Because as long as they live in places we’ve been raised to believe don’t matter we don’t give a shit.

Pause there. Reflect on that. Get it tattooed on your fucking forehead. Stop pretending."

“…there were never, nor are there any ‘moderates’ operating in Syria. The West has intentionally armed and funded Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremists since as early as 2007 in preparation for an engineered sectarian bloodbath serving US-Saudi-Israeli interests. This latest bid to portray the terrorists operating along and within Syria’s borders as ‘divided’ along extremists/moderate lines is a ploy to justify the continued flow of Western cash and arms into Syria to perpetuate the conflict, as well as create conditions along Syria’s borders with which Western partners, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey, can justify direct military intervention [in Syria].”

i expect ill get a pasting for this post, but fuck it ill say it.

Same old rhetoric from the leaders of the west "Islam the religion of peace" Tell that to the dead in brussels or the poor  moderate  News agent in Glasgow who wished his christian neighbours  a happy easter and was murdered   by a cunt fresh from the mosque

.Moderated  educated followers of islam are bullied by these barbaric  middle aged deluded  dogs.  

We are at war gentlemen and ladyboys, if you think its going away soon its not.

Islam  " the religion of peace" you got to be joking me,  the leader of the Brussels boming was in hiding with his own family members is Moolenbeek (sp),and just on that point, where are the vast majority of islamic followers, in condeming this act???? io don't see  it anywhere, just playing there victims card  and were all islamaphobic.

We are at war.
