- Are these the Belgian terror bombers? Leaked CCTV ‘shows suspects’ in attacks that left 34 dead as ISIS claims responsibility
- CCTV from Brussels airport reveals picture of three suspects and man in hat now believed to be on the run
- At 8am local time first suicide attack on city kills at least 14 and injures 50 more at Brussels Airport departure hall
- Terrorist bomb exploded on train Maelbeek Metro at 9.19am killinh 20 – in heart of city’s EU quarter
- Belgian Foreign Ministry say some terrorists involved are ‘still at large’ and Britain and US helping with hunt
- Armed police have arrested two men in dramatic stand-off in city centre and suspect held on Amsterdam train
These are the three men police suspect of carrying out the bombing Brussels airport – and one is still on the run, it was claimed today.
The trio was apparently captured on CCTV in the minutes before 14 people died and dozens more were maimed in the check-in area.
Belgian media said the two men on the left had blown themselves up and the third suspect, wearing a hat, is believed to have left a nail bomb and fled, according to De Standaard.
It is not known if the wanted man then sped to Maelbeek station to carry out the blast that killed 20 people in a subway train just 79 minutes later.
It came as ISIS claimed responsibility for the massacres, which have killed 34 and injured close to 200 others.
A soldier walks through debris after two explosion rocked a terminal building at Brussels Airport – but security sources say Belgian police already have CCTV of at least one bomber and the explosion.
Drama: Two men were pinned to the ground by armed police and special forces as the hunt for members of the terror cell behind today’s bombings in Brussels started
Explosion: The image above is being used by the Belgian media who claim this is the damage caused by the bomb at the Maelbeek Metro station in central Brussels this morning. It has not been verified by the authorities but is being widely circulated on social media.

My mother is a British Citizen so I have been traveling to the U. K. since I was a small child to visit relatives. I remember when I was in Heathrow in 1989. I had visited my aunt, uncle and cousins in England. I was returning to my native United States and was aware of airport security. At that time, the worry was the Irish Republican Army. I saw an unattended briefcase and it made me nervous. I immediately walked over to an Airport Security Officer and directed him to the briefcase. Airport Security jumped into action and surrounded the briefcase. A distraught traveler rushed back to his briefcase. Security gave him a stern talking to and the man walked off with his briefcase. We traveled to the United Kingdom, France and Belgium in July and August of 2001. My traveling companion had never visited the U.K. before and paid attention to security at Heathrow. When we were walking through JFK he said, “Anybody could walk through here with a gun or a bomb and go undetected.” Two months later September 11, 2001 happened. His comment was unfortunately proven true even though the airports involved did not include JFK.

The crushing weight of the knowledge Netanyahu carries within himself is obvious on his face. That Israel and the free world has been abandoned by Obama is abundantly clear.
Netanyahu had no passion in his voice when he thanked Obama because he knows his thanks is a necessary evil so that Obama does not bomb Israel himself or even more blatantly give the green light to barbarians who would destroy every liberty minded person on earth.
Surrendering ourselves to the barbarism of Islam is the only thing that will satisfy Obama is abundantly clear. Netanyahu knows this. All thinking people know this. My prayers are with Netanyahu on a daily basis.

A few months back, Vox Day predicted that Europe would fight back, and become nationalist again, because that’s the pattern of history. They, in their self-hating guilt over the Holocaust, decided to be NICE. And invite in the people who actually do embody that which they erroneously projected onto their Jews in the ’30s and ’40s.

After the Brussels attack Trump’s renewing his call for a ban on Moslems coming into the US.

From the stats I’m seeing they have north of half a million Moslem ‘refugees’ in the country. Those are stated as high-end figures, probably so as to not further inflame public fears, but that’s more than enough to pefform Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism even if these Islamic Terrorists are just Islamics who’ve hijacked Islam.

As Brussels convulsed in bloody jihad on the morning of March 22, 2016, Ivar Mol sent out this tweet (above).
Translation from the Dutch: “How can you continue teaching when Muslims in your class are cheering?”
I don’t know who Ivar Mol is. His twitter account identifies him as a meditation and yoga teacher.
His tweet certainly caught my attention, along with that of many others, including some casting doubt on what is, after all, a rhetorical question.

Yeah, I was reading a few reports that outlined why the Moslems, who refuse to assimilate and want European culture/society to change for them, have such high rates of rejection by natives, unemployment, poor educational achievement – all of he usual failures. The results of their refusal to adopt the culture and blend with the society they’ve voluntarily adopted are presented not as their failures but as evil acts of racial prejudice by the socirty they’ve chosen.
Geez, just imagine how much eorse the situation would be in Europe if the natives had weaponry to defend themselves against these poor, misunderstood demented murdering terrorists?

The brevity of the twits are exactly why I rejected Twitter when it first came out. The forced brevity and 15 second soundbites has contributed to people no longer thinking or considering other options other than their first reaction, imo. Even blog comments, which used to be conversations, have become a collection of brief sentences with no thought-out responses. One of the reasons I lurk here is to read the opinions.
All that said, I’ll go with the Marines. They are always effective (when allowed to be), no matter their verbosity or lack thereof.

As they say: ‘all politics are local’. It appears all news is local also, so the bombing’s being massaged to give it a local flair and relevance, make it ‘ours’, allowing the locals to have the vicarious thrill of being part of something bigger than their vanilla lives.
The news found a local who’d been to to Brussels, another who could correctly spell Brussels and yet another who eats brussel sprouts. Not to be undone our mayor, flush from his increasingly frustrated campaign to join ISIS in destroying monuments that do not represent his version of history, gave a speech to locals stating HIS and the city’s solidarity as HE and we stand wth them in their yadayadayada
